The newly designed Technorati site changed the image-size parameters for personal photos. Don't ask me why, because since then, everyone's head is vertically squished. It took me the longest time to figure this out, but I finally did. Seems that 64x64 pixels is the perfect size. Except at that size, my face is sorta chopped. Ah well. What're ya gonna do? What I decided to do was to make a bunch of different images so I can keep changing them -- which turns out to be pretty easy. Once you figure it out, that is. Good luck. If you look down a bit in the left column, you should see one of these babies. Now my ID can change with my mood swings...

...and speaking of ID, here's a little shout-out to badboy Eric Norlin at Ping Identity -- in fond hopes that he'll share the wealth. C'mon man, the SEC is never gonna know!

Denver-based software company Ping Identity announced $7.5 million in new funding Tuesday from Draper Fisher Jurvetson, one of the biggest names in the venture capital industry. Draper is a $3 billion fund with headquarters on Silicon Valley's famed Sand Hill Road. It also funded Hotmail.

Draper managing director Raj Atluru said Ping interested him because it is a pioneer of federated identity, a new technology that allows Internet users to sign in once and then roam freely and securely to a huge variety of websites.

Other huge competitors, such as Microsoft, IBM and Computer Associates, are racing Ping to develop similar software....

Remind me to remind these guys never to use "huge" more than once in a press release. Never would be even better. But hey man, only kiddin around over here. I still get the money, right?
