http://www.tantek.com/log/2002/09.html#L20020902t2359 Fun little “Amelie” tour of Paris. Found through a google search for link:http://www.mirrorproject.com/.

I was searching for this because in the article below I’m quoted as saying: “Have you noticed that one of the more popular sites amongst webloggers is the Mirror Project—mirrorproject.com—made up of webloggers’ self-portraits? … Not at all the sort of thing that appeals to geeks.”

I didn’t think this was very controversial (neither that nor the argument that webloggers are more image conscious than geeks) but it appears a few don’t agree! I think we’re talking about different sorts of geeks—by geeks I mean people like Linus Torvalds, Alan Cox (Linux), Brian Behlendorf (Apache), Larry Wall (Perl), Guido van Rossum (Perl) and Richard Stallman (the sort of people who fit the Jargon File’s A Portrait of J. Random Hacker)—but just to check I did this search. Are there many geeks on this list? I don’t see many, although Tantek (funnily enough) qualifies. (Dave Winer is another example.) 16:30
