I'm working on changes to the blog. In preparing a new blogger photo, I took some self-portraits.
The first photo gives me that Stephen King pseudo-serial-killer look. I'm leaning toward one of the other ones.
Choose Eric's New Look!
1) Stephen King / Serial Killer
2) Mysterious Stranger
3) Blue-eyed Civil Servant
I still have time to reshoot, but I'm definitely not going to keep using the cheery photo in the top right corner of this blog.
4) Don't even think about it

Number 2 is best for a blog.

Hey, I forgot to include my boudoir self-portraits. Wait a minute while I upload them....
Darn, my wife deleted them all!
Thx, Saskboy.

Hmmm....linking the words 'serial killer' to your name might not be good for SEO a few months from now :-)
I guess we'll only have to worry if you start using your middle name, since all serial killers are known by their full names.

Arni. But don't tell anyone.

Definitely no. 2 :)

Ok, of the three #2 is best (although please without the "Mysterious Stranger" tag), but I think you need more choices :-)

"And kids, if THIS guy offers you candy, what do you do?"
"We shoot his ass and THEN call 911!"
I opt for #2. Oh, "The Mysterious Stranger," in Twain's novella, is Satan, so you might want to rethink that description.

I really should delete Photo #1 off the blog, off my hard drive, and hunt down everyone who might have downloaded it, and run magnets over their hard drives.
But this way, no matter how disturbed I look in pictures other people take of me, I'll always know that I have something more disturbing...

I think the first photo makes you look very distinguished. You're obviously a very creative person.

I am not trying to be a contrarian, Eric, but I prefer #3. I just like the composition of it.
