A Photo Of Me
This week has been filled with problems, with the server going down from the Digg Effect, and an atheist forums I help run almost driven to extinction. The previous owner (who was meant to be my partner in the scheme) told me he had sold the site and lost the contact details of the new owner. This apparently happened several months ago, and meant that we were left with a forum that we couldn’t upgrade or fix the current errors.
We decided that since we only had 1000 posts, we’d simply move domain and start again. The new forums are running well and everyone is happy. I started a thread in which members could post their picture if they wanted to, and I suddenly realised that other than small gravatar images, most people probably have no idea what I look like.
So without further ado, here is a picture I took this afternoon. It’s not very good quality and I should have done the flash a bit better, but it’ll do. The t-shirt I am wearing is one of my favourites (for good reason). About a month ago I decided that since I had 3 months of nothing all summer, I would grow my first beard and see what it turned out like. I’m not an expert on beards, but I reckon it looks ok, obviously a bit patchy in places. I’m thinking of getting rid of the moustache, only it might actually look better when it connects to the rest of the beard. Obviously I need beard growing advice, so please throw it at me! What should I do? Shave it off? Keep it growing? I need your opinions!
Anyway, here goes.
The essence of a geek.
Also, if the blog goes down in the next hour it’s probably me messing about with the upgrade.
Edit: Justin wanted to know where I got the t-shirt. Why, from ThinkGeek of course! I also have this one, and this one.

So where’s the beard? is it behind that piece of dirt you have hanging on your chin?
:P
Aaaanyway, I’m not an expert on beards either as I can’t seem to be able to grow anything besides a disconnected goatee but it’s good enough I guess
So, yeah, I think you should get rid of the ’stache, especially if that’s what you managed in 3 months. Alternatively grow it in the chinese wise old man fashion. With hair like that I’m certain you can achieve it ;)

The ‘tache and beard are both 1 month old, not three. I just have a load of time left until it actually matters what I look like :P

I like your look and say keep it as long as you can as long as you like it. It works for you.

Faryshta,
I think the binary one is punchier.

I’m a Christian, strongly, but always like to read what others believe. I went looking for Wordpress searches and ended up here. God works in mysterious ways I guess … /snark ;) Keep having your say and a great day!

My teeth are as white as I can get them (which looking at the photo is actually quite good). I don’t suppose you’d care that I have dental problems meaning they don’t “shine” like other peoples though.
