In some small way, I feel like I arrived as a member of the internet today.  [Joi](http://joi.ito.com) took some photos of me, which are now in [his stream](http://flickr.com/photos/joi) (along with photos of countless other internet heroes of mine). Thanks to [Jess](https://twitter.com/jgoldfin) for making me smile and laugh as we got going. I am terrible in photographs. I always feel like I look stiff and awkward, and don't look like my real self. It's part of the reason why I use my simpsons avatar for everything.  A whole lot of the photos Joi took just now look that way too, of course, but there were a few good ones which feel pretty real and comfortable to me (especially b/c I'm rocking my [Chicken Adidas](http://www.chickenadidas.com/) shirt).  So, now I have a few real photographs of myself to use for important things like blog posts about those photographs :)
