Is that guy in the picture me?!
I came across this photo on the net. Is it me? Short answer, no. But I spent the better half of an hour trying to figure out. It started with going to the blog plaxoed! [Mark Jens life @ Plaxo] after seeing it on my colleague’s computer monitor. (A side note, he, Oliver is a real Plaxo fan, and actually converted me some time ago to use Plaxo) I was reading some of Mark’s entries, and after seeing his photo on his site, I thought to myself “man, I know this guy…”. My colleague, Oliver, told me he was famous many months ago for being fired from Google due to his Blogging habits. I don’t remember that. So I did some Google and A9 searching. Turns out, he’s got a Wikipedia entry. Short, but to the point. A9’s image results (I guess these are Google Image results), showed me this image. It looks like me! (It’s not). But then I got to thinking… Could it be me? It might be. Silver watch band. Big arms. But, I don’t pull up my long sleeves like this guy does in the photo. Well, I went to investigate more, to www.decheung.com, as that is where this photo is resident. I found the entry where this image is linked, Remix of my Scoble and Mark Jen photos, which turns out to be a photoshop’d image by a guy in India named Manu Sharma. The white guy in the photo is a guy named Scoble. So, not me. But I know Mark from somewhere. I think it was University…
