Try it: Take-A-Picture Meme!

Originally uploaded by SambearPoet

Meme reads like this:
Take a picture of yourself right now. Don’t change your clothes. Don’t fix your hair. Just take a picture. Post that picture with no editing. (Except maybe to get the image size down to something reasonable. Don’t go posting an eight megapixel image.) Include these instructions.

I love how quickly I could do this on my break. XMLRPC is your friend.

An open letter to Michael Goldfarb

Subject: Thanks so much!

Mr. Goldfarb,

You may have just energized a whole bunch of completely apolitical geek types with this paragraph:

It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman's memory of war from the comfort of mom's basement, but most Americans have the humility and gratitude to respect and learn from the memories of men who suffered on behalf of others.

from your screed:

I have to say, "Way to go!" Others have tried to get the gaming crowd to work to effect change for some time now, and now you've gone and done it.

You have a lot to learn about gamers, though. We are some of the most brave, chivalrous, honorable people you can possibly hope to meet.

Think about it.

We still believe in heroes, we still believe in the individual, we still believe that there are things worth living and dying for.

And some of us may have voted for your candidate before this.

Congratulations, I guess you didn't want the gamer vote.

You're certainly not getting mine.

Sincerely,

Sam Chupp
