As I am sure many of you know, twitter can be a very addicting thing and can make you do dumb things. A couple weeks ago I was gently pushed into becoming a twitteree by my supervisor and by the end of the same day I was up and running on TweetDeck.

Long story short, I saw a tweet by Aaron Roe Fulkerson, CEO of MindTouch Inc. In his tweet Aaron had a link to his blog in which he displayed a fine picture of himself in a suit that is remarkable similar to the one Oliver Young was wearing in an avatar picture.

For those who don’t know Oliver Young is the Forester researcher for Web 2.0. 

Okay, not to be outdone, or just because I love Photoshop suits and ties, I decided to post my picture in the same suit.  What do ya know, I don’t look too bad in that suit either.  I took my photo by the flag for that Presidential look.

Below are the three of us for your viewing pleasure in the following order; Oliver Young, Aaron Roe Fulkerson, and Michael Silva.

Okay as you know, the site is called CornerPixel because I want it to eventually be known as a place for web professionals to come and use resources which are grounded in good standard practices.  Well evidently you won't come to this site for spelling help.  The site has been up for at least 4 months and a friend of mine just pointed out that I had misspelled CornerPixel in the banner. 

"WOW, how did I miss that?" I thought.  It was right at the top of my page.  Oh well, it is fixed now, but I did do a quick print screen so that I could post it here.

There you have it.  We are officially not the CornerPixel of Spelling.  I might even have to make it a point to misspell words in the future just to remind you all of that.

As you can see there is a small banner at the to of the page now.  I have signed CornerPixel up for the October 15th Blog Action Day.

On October 15th all the blogger's signed up with Blog Action Day will post about this years subject, poverty.  Last year was about the environment. 

I work for an organization that helps combat global poverty so I will have a lot to say.  I know that it has nothing to do with web design, or development but it is something that I thought would be fun to do and maybe even helpful to get people aware of poverty in the world.  Most people don't understand how bad it can be in some of these third world countries, because of how good we have it in the United States.

I recommend any of my readers who have a blog to sign up for the Blog Action Day.  If you do, just comment to this post and I will add your blog to the blog roll on the right.  (unless your site is pornographic or extremely offensive).

I hope to see a lot of participation both here on October 15th and on all others blogs that are signed up to participate.
