If I were to hire someone, the first thing I'd do is investigate the person online. With that in mind, here's a little help for future employers and stalkers.
Pictures
There aren't a bazillion pictures of me online. (But there are some that are about two clicks from here.) But I think it's more interesting to see pictures of my physical space. So, with no further ado, here are my workspaces. Slightly neat, slightly messy. Spacious, with an emphasis on an ergonomic keyboard. Make of it what you will.
Productivity
Happily, it looks like Google with their priority queues (search for “cue happy rat”), 43Folders, and I are on the same page. I've been using the same Getting Things Done-ish homepage for years (Its FAQ). It's a site I made to ensure I keep my eye on the ball.

My home-grown sites illustrate an obsessive attention-to-detail, of which I'm not proud, but there it is. They're ugly, but they work exactly the way I want.
- RSS feed at my Roshambo site.
- Kids' ages at blog. (Compare the ages in the sidebar at the home page, vs. an individual entry's page.)

Trends
I keep my entire digital life hosted remotely in a subversion repository. It won't be long before Apple and Google (among others) are going to offer a similar service with a user-friendly facade. Sun will have been right, with its “The network is the computer.”
