RMC are my Initials, Ryan McMaster and the 33 is sort of an enigma in my life. It pops up all over in my life, for instance, I was born On may 16th in Alaska 16-49=33. My best friend was born on the 17th in Hawaii, same thing (Date-state numerical admission into the Union). Just weird stuff I guess but whenever the number comes up I usually have a spark of brilliance on a Project I am working on or something. My first 3d Printer (I use them for work) Used to give me an error code 33 all the time, which was not a code in the companies DB. Turns out it was related to a software update that had a bug that would cause the extruder to heat beyond the limit set by the operator and could cause a fire. It was supposed to be code 1033 (10 meant error and 33 was the specific type). Weird things like that. Hence my photography is under RMC |33| Photography.

RMC33- "McMaster" has to be like one of the best names ever! It's better than McLovin! I'd be rocking that all over the place if that was my name.

Mine is just my site name obviously, http://www.extremeinstability.com/ ...which I named it back in 1999 or 2000. Needed a storm chasing related term for the site and saw that mention on a national weather service page talking about the setup for a first chase of mine. CAPE is convective available potential energy and pretty much 1000 j/kg and under is low and I guess I always took extreme instability as being 5000 j/kg and above. It's stuck since then, though I often regret the choice as I don't feel I've chased "extreme" enough to warrant extreme being in the name. That and well extreme instability has never proved to end up that impressive storm-wise usually. Usually means more of a cap in place and weaker shear periods. Kinda stuck with the name now though. And lordy are there few url naming options now.

I think most people would consider almost all anatomy "gross," but that's probably not the same definition of the term that you're using.

Still, I'd strongly recommend that everybody should go to the Body Worlds exhibition when it comes to town. Yes, even if you think it's gross. You'll get over it.

My forum name reflects the fact that I am drawn more to bright, clear, intense colors than muted or pale ones. My avatar is a photo of some flowers that I took during a visit to the gardens at the Winterthur estate. The colors in the image are purposely over-saturated to create a fun not realistic effect.

GDub is the (kinda sorta) sound of my firstname and lastname initials--"GW". But... because "GDubya" puts a Texas spin on it (if you catch my drift), I went for an alternative version. ;) In truth, I was called GDub (sounds like "Jee-Dub") at work for years and it stuck. The avatar picture is a replica of my Gravatar--gravatar.com.

My name is Scott, and I don't go by Scotty. I noticed, however, a hamburger restaurant in Dallas called "Scotty P's". As my last name also starts with a "P" I had to go in and get a cheese burger and a tee-shirt.

Something about wearing that tee shirt in my laundry rotation for a couple of years made it stick in my mind.

Hence my username.

I graduated from Yale University (their sports teams are known as the Elis after the founder, Elihu Yale) in 1972 where I first got an interest in photography. No avatar because I'm usually the one behind the camera!

No Maserati, but to quote Joe Walsh "life's been good to me so far" = wellfed + my nationality.

The photo is technically poor but it amuses me. One of my dogs (the male chocolate lab) was sitting on my boat when one of my brother's dogs (a very domineering female) muscled in. My off-kilter sense of humour sees this as a harangued married man being told off by his wife. (But maybe I've just been married waaay too long...)

Mine comes from my days of competitive bodybuilding, needed a contact name when I moved to live and train in Thailand....Actually competed as Super Heavy, but that was too long as a contact...+ year of birth 1967.

Still live in Thailand, retired from competitive bodybuilding and all the associated chemicals...

The user name are my initials:
Rustom Peshotan Taraporevala

Peshotan is my father's name. Now if you thought that above was a mouthful, then this:
Rustom Peshotan Jivanji Khurshedji Coorji Ratanji Kahanji Nahnji Behramji Taraporevala

So that takes you to 1700 or thereabouts. There is documented evidence of Ratanji around 1750...

And the avatar is a photo of my first camera that I used for a looooooooooooooooong time...

I am not a professional photographer, so I thought "notapro" would be nice for a name. The photo is of a gila monster, an animal indigenous to the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona (and to the part of northern Mexico directly south of Arizona). Seeing the gila monster brings to mind my favorite kind of weather: hot!
