<p>That&#8217;s code by caker, one of the admins over at <a href="http://www.linode.com">my favorite hosting provider, Linode</a>.  You can <a href="http://www.linode.com/~caker/pics/gmail/">see all the &#8220;g-mail&#8221; code he could find</a>.  Unfortunately:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<@caker> there&#8217;s more, but that&#8217;s all I could find.  Pretty sure my 3.5&#8243; floppies labeled &#8220;g-mail backup&#8221; no longer function <img src='http://blog.schmichael.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />

<p>I wish I had a digital camera because everything is just beautiful here.  Instead I&#8217;ll leave you with the only acceptable movie recommendation:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For Samantha&#8217;s new job at First United Methodist Church in Peoria, she and I are supposed to send them a photo along with a 2 paragraph bio for the <em>church newsletter</em>.  After reading today&#8217;s <a href="http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20060519.html">Pearls Before Swine</a>, I&#8217;ve decided its a better description of who I am than I could ever come up with in 2 paragraphs:<br />
<a href="http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20060519.html"><img title="Hula" alt="Hula" src="http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/images/pearls2006029312519.gif" /></a></p>
<p>Alright, that&#8217;s enough navel gazing&#8230;  Back to the geek blogs&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So my friend <a href="http://www.dancoulter.com/2006/05/17/who-do-i-look-like/">Dan blogged his results</a> from <a href="http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/face_recognition.php">MyHeritage.com&#8217;s free celebrity facial comparison</a>.</p>
<p>Evidently I look Asian because my #1 result was a South Korean actor, Bae Yong-jun.</p>
<p><img width="72" height="96" id="image107" alt="Bae Yong-jun" src="http://blogs.synthesyssolutions.com/michael/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/Bae%20Yong-jun.thumbnail.jpg" /></p>
<p>After that I had a bunch of ties:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td style="padding: 5px; text-align: center"><img width="72" height="96" id="image109" alt="Pope Pius XII" src="http://blogs.synthesyssolutions.com/michael/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/Pope%20Pius%20XII.thumbnail.jpg" /><br />
Pope Pius XII</td>
<td style="padding: 5px; text-align: center"><img width="72" height="96" id="image108" alt="Linus Torvalds" src="http://blogs.synthesyssolutions.com/michael/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/Linus%20Torvalds.thumbnail.jpg" /><br />
Linus Torvalds</td>
<td style="padding: 5px; text-align: center"><img width="72" height="96" id="image110" alt="Ryan Reynolds" src="http://blogs.synthesyssolutions.com/michael/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/Ryan%20Reynolds.thumbnail.jpg" /><br />
Ryan Reynolds</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>If you know me, then you realize these results are funny on so many levels.</p>
<p>(For the record the photo I used was when I had a beard and was wearing glasses.  Somehow none of my results had beards, but almost all of them wore glasses.)</p>
