I took the day off yesterday to see the "Green Lantern" movie. With the massive power of my will, I have generated the following (SPOILER ALERT!) review.

I see so many various HeroMachine images, that they sort of blur together over time. It's very unusual for one to stick with me so strongly that even months later, I go actively looking for it. Our Power User this week is Lime, who has exactly such an image and story. Here it is copied from her UGO Forums Archive; I include it at the beginning because I wanted you to see why I chose her to profile. Anyone who can do this is someone I want to know more about:
One day after school, a griffin followed me home. I asked my mom if I could keep it. She said no. I don't know why. I promised I'd feed it.
Also, considering the passing of Peter Falk two days ago, I think her final line is very appropriate. So without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to introduce Lime!

While perusing this "50 Awesomely Nerdy Tattoos" article, I got to wondering what you all would want if you were forced at gunpoint to get a tattoo (or even just asked nicely!) revolving around something nerdy or geeky.
I don't personally have any tats, as I am too fat, too hairy, and too old to have it make sense. Although I have considered getting hair tattooed on my head, that might work. Not, like, long hair, but stubble, you know, so it would look like I had just shaved my head and it was growing back stubbly, only all over instead of just in the horseshoe shape.
But I digress.
Because I like to get to know you folks better, I like to have these "Sharing Days" every now and then where I ask a question and you answer in comments. This time around, it's:
If you had to get a tattoo on a geeky or nerdy theme, what would you get and where would you put it?
In return, if you wish you can ask me whatever you like and I'll try my best to give an answer. Note that by no means are you required to ask me something in order to answer the question at hand, but that if you do want to ask me something, you have to have answered the question. I'm exhausted just typing that.
I look forward to hearing your replies!
Oh! And my favorite one from that site is probably this, because I could totally see typing away and then catching a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye and instantly being all WHOOOSOSOOSH and I AM YOUR FATHER and FEEL THE POWER! Anything that increases the entropy of the universe is AOK in my book (clearly).
Edited to Add: Geez, I forgot to answer the question myself! I would probably get a medium-sized Superman insignia on my right deltoid (such as it is). Although that light saber tat on the finger is pretty rockin' ... Only I'd get one on the outside of each index finger so I could finger-fight myself.

Previously on "Lone Wolf", we decided to fill ourselves with righteous fury and pursue the scurrilous dogs who so rudely treated us after our "rescue" at sea. And so we returned to the wharf, hoping to find their fishing galley (and, presumably, the villains themselves).
Huzzah, we've gotten some of our lost booty back! I hate it when my booty gets lost. Although, apparently in this town they have an entire street dedicated to it ...

I've heard disturbing reports from AMS, Hammerknight, and a couple of other folks that after a Flash update, they lost all their saved files and now can no longer save characters between sessions. Has anything like that happened to you? If so, could you please post in comments with your browser version, operating system version, and Flash version (which you get by right-clicking on the HM3 app and choosing "About Flash Player" from the flyout)?
I'm really hoping Adobe didn't change something about the way they save Flash cookies in this latest release ...
This is a good time to remind you that, as with any piece of software, you should back up your characters on a regular basis to avoid catastrophic loss. There are now three ways to do so:
The saved Flash shared object library files (.sol for you Windows users) are LIKE cookies, but they are NOT actual cookies. They are not stored in the shared internet data files and will not be deleted if you erase all your cookies. You can only remove them by right-clicking on the movie, and going to Flash Settings, removing them there.
In Windows it's at %AppData%MacromediaFlash Player#SharedObjects\www.heromachine.comhm3 where %AppData% is a variable leading to your browser.
On a Mac they are in HD / User / / Library / Preferences / Macromedia / Flash Player / #SharedObjects / / http://www.heromachine.com / hm3 / heromachine3.swf / hmcharacters.sol
I hate to think of people losing their hard work, and I'm trying to do a bit of digging to see if anything changed with the latest Flash Player update or what.
Edited To Add: Sure enough, Adobe has implemented much easier methods of deleting "Flash cookies", which is what the HeroMachine save file is. You can get the details here. AMS identified the specific setting you need to change if you don't want all of your saved characters to be wiped out the next time you close your browser after installing the update, at least in Internet Explorer:
