WARNING! If you’re like me, when you go to this site, your day will be over … Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report … each time I go, I can get lost in links and readings for hours …
I bought this guy’s book from Amazon a while back, and I frequent his site from time to time to see what’s going on … His latest post “10 years” talks of when he originally worked on the batmanforever web site and was using HTML to accomplish this and how far he’s come in the way of development, etc …
I was originally going there to look at his mug picture as a comparitive for us techie people who have some sort of need to post our picture on our site, but we must distort the image so that it doesn’t look like us … I guess it’s also being that we want to post an image, but why post a flower or a computer monitor … surely the only thing we can post is an image of ourselves, but it must not actually look like us …
I can only speak for me in that I personally don’t like looking at images of myself … Regardless of the image, it doesn’t matter … Doesn’t matter if it was professionally done, or a candid … I don’t freak though … I can have images of myself plastered all over the place … but the one place I can have some control, I decided to distort the image as it is to the top right there …
Then there are the images that I find acceptable, and that I would use on a consistant basis, but I no longer have the long hair, so those images are useless to me … I now have to wait through the taking of many painful images of my current self whether I will find a current pic that I find acceptable to use in its unaltered state …
