Mine is just a picture of me wake boarding. Some people use iSight pictures or just pick one of the ones available here on mac-forums.

I just searched the web for an image of what wanted. Best to find one that fits either you or your interest, though they aren't always needed.

A google image search + some kind of imaging editing software like photoshop is the way I do it.

I usually just make my own. If you give me some ideas, I can throw some ideas into Illustrator for you if you'd like.

the apple/mac generic avatars are a bit boring usually, make something personal, something that stands out and says it's "you" as people scroll down a page.

I'm a big fan of going to google images and then adjusting the size via Photoshop.

If I had the creative touch with software like Photoshop or GIMP, I'd do up an image like punkr0x0rs big red one, an eMac on the left 3/4 view from above, screen facing right, another eMac on the right facing the other with an Intel Mini in the middle....however I'm not so well, gifted in image editing....lol just my crazy idea.....
