I'd like to remind people in this community that this isn't the place for promoting your blogs/personal journals. If you really want to share your blog with us, you are welcome to tell us about it in the weekly Free For All Friday posts. Any further posts here promoting blogs will be deleted. Understood?

Do you have a recent photo of yourself that you like enough to show to others and have represent you? If not, you probably should get something ready for in a couple days... ;)

Don't share that photo here. Save it for now!

Do you have a recent photo of yourself?

Not that I'm actually asking for your photos, or care too much either way right now..

Drunk questions, sudden thoughts or things you want to share are best placed in this community.

Suggestions and some maintainer announcements appear there as well. Be sure to join and/or watch if any of this interests you.
