glider tattoo is how mine turned out, at least on the day after. This video was shot when the most people were actually under the needle and, although it makes me sound like a bit of a dufus, it is fun to see what I look like in the midst of an endorphin high.

Rick: I just emailed Ross from SF and ‘put my skin in the game’, not sure if I will get picked, will keep you posted of course.

Oh and I do know how to spell tattoo :)

Awesome… I have been thinking about a Vidoop shield Tatoo… or a penguin would be obvious.

Anywho after the SourceForge party come down the street to Bossanova for Beerforge III all the details are here: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/782117/

Highlights include open bar (mixed drinks, beer, wine), lots of swag, excellent catering from Fords (read bacon wrapped dates) including some awesome vegan dishes, and shuttles from the Sourceforge party to ours :)

It will be interesting to see if some Portland or Silicon Forest folks take this opportunity and make the cut. And, of course, what they choose as their “open source or techy” design. And where they choose to put it.

I’ll make sure to provide details on the results.

And, seriously, please let me know if you’re putting your skin in the game. ;)

Why not? I like the idea of tattooing your OpenId so you won’t forget it. To some people it is as important as a name. Maybe get your sweetheart’s OpenId tattooed on your chest.

I have often thought I should tattoo the word SAVE upside down on the fingers of my left hand, as to remind me to save my work often when working on a project.

Sounds awesome! I’ve got 6 tats and need one more to make it an acceptable number; 7 is my #. What a fab thing to do for us!
