asv108's Journal: ROTD: Take that Posed Picture off your Blog!

I have to stop working for a quick second to post a quick rant. I opened up my e-mail client today to find Bruce Schneier's CRYPTO-GRAM in my inbox. CRYPTO-GRAM is a great little e-mail newsletter and now they are going to publish it in blog form also. Sounds like a reasonable idea, the blog has the same content but it also includes a picture of Schneier posing like he is thinking over the computer.

Why must people take themselves so freaking seriously that they need to have a picture on their blog looking like they are in deep thought? I'm going to measure the validity of your opinions based on content, not whether or not you look serious in a picture.

So who is to blame for this epidemic of posing for your blog picture? I like him a lot, but look no further that Lawrence Lessig. This picture looks like it should in male seeking male personal ad. My favorite is his old pic. I'm sure he is thinking deep thoughts while someone is sitting there with a camera.
