The Cat in the Hat...
This is essentially a vague attempt to make it look like I'm not the most boring person in the world who only ever writes or thinks about weblogs, social software and work.

What lovely secondary sexual characteristics you have! Best... photo... ever.
And if I'm not mistaken, that's a hell of a neck.

And of course, considering you're looking for a job right now, what better way to advertise that fact than by posting of a picture of yourself looking like a homeless bum? A master stroke...

Do you really think it's a bad idea? I was sitting here thinking that I'd written too much really long stuff about social software and weblogging recently and that maybe it would be a good idea to remind everyone (including potential employers) that I am basically fairly normal. But now I'm all angsty!

Aww don't be angsty, any decent potential employers will appreciate knowing you're a well rounded human, and not the most boring person in the world. That photo does make you look like Badly Drawn Boy though.

ooh I took that one!
don't you think a bit of context would have gone down well with that one tom-san?

I think you should turn your writing into a book on social software. Then forget looking for work. Fame would come to you and you would tour the world, speaking your heart's chords on your favorite topic.
Thatz what I think:-)
