Purple Shirt of the Week: Older and Wiser



Here we have a lavender (ie light purple - sorry, it's my phone camera, the color isn't too accurate) shirt on someone who wished not to have their face shown on the blog this week. I only mention this for two reasons: first, this person's picture is already plastered around the internets, and secondly, he's making such an awesome face in the picture that it's a crime that it's not being shared.

I suspect that this not sharing has something to do with the fact that yes, even though he may be a recognized maven of information and has photo profiles on websites, twitter, etc, he draws some kind of line between "i'm a professional" and "i don't need to have goofy pictures of myself on the internet".

I know, i know, i don't understand it either. I for one hope i never make that distinction. but, then again, look at what i do with my life; and not having that brain filter probably means i won't have a reputation where goofy photos will matter or come back to haunt me in a negative way. i don't have much further to fall.

Anyway, we salute you, man in the pretty purple shirt! You go and rock that lavender!

I don't understand why blogger hates you and won't post your pictures.

yeah, i have no idea. i thought it was because the pictures were too big, but apparantly not. i'll have to look into it. they don't go through email postings to blogger sometimes...
