Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with your picture.

How could I turn that down? I believe that seeing more faces on the Internet would go a long way toward defusing all the rudeness caused by people forgetting that they're dealing with other people, not with machines. And I'm not really big on visual anonymity, either. So here goes:



This mostly tells me that I need to shave more, to avoid that Hugh Laurie look, and that taking pictures with a camera at arm's reach means your head will look really big. Cool.

Yeah, I've gone through a lot of brands finding the one that stays spiky all day. Only the really hard-core KMS-brand gel works for me.

And FWIW, in your photo, the first thing I noticed was the nifty glasses. This is likely a product of having worn glasses -- most of them ugly -- for 29 years. My prescription is mostly beyond contacts and lasers.

I love these glasses so much. They were an unexpected find in a discount frames shop, and I treasure them. If I ever get laser eye surgery, like I've been considering, I might actually look into how hard it would be to get the lenses replaced with non-prescription tinted glass to use when driving.
