Self-Portrait of the Dictator as a Young Man
Seriously, it is just me or does this guy look like Kim Jong Il?

2. He looks like the "Unix guy" at my previous job
I guess he looks a little like Kim Jong Il, but there are probably tens of thousands of other people who also have a slight resemblance.

4. Especially when the picture is taken at a particular certain angle.
The person in the pic is me.

Needless to say, I don't consider it one of my more flattering pictures. As you can see, I took the picture myself, and the camera was tilted upwards to emphasize my jowls and make my hair look worse than it actually is. I was also scrunching my head back when I took the pic. Most of my pictures are much better than this one, trust me.

And it's funny that you and another person should say I remind you of techie co-workers -- I'm a former web developer who's now a computer science student, which means I'll be working at Tower Records alongside co-workers who were English and philosophy majors, because my job has been shipped off to India or China.

3. Reminds Me of a Taiwanese Engineer I Know - Only Younger
his accurate nickname - a play on his real name - is Wrong-Way Lee.
