Getting Inked for Tux at OSCON
OSCON isn't just a gathering for talks on topics like Creating Location-aware Web 2.0 Applications on an Open Source Geospatial Platform and fightin' words from the stage; it's also an excuse for some interesting social gatherings, like this year's Community Choice awards (organized and sponsored by the corporate overlords at SourceForge, as you might recall, and with Slashdot's own special category), at which, among other festive activities, attendees were offered the chance to get open-source-related tattoos. There are shots of some of these up on the SourceForge Community pages, and — with some overlap — even more in this set at Flickr. (My pasty bicep^h^h^h^h^h shoulder is the one now adorned with a circled head of a happy Tux ala IBM; I was expecting it to hurt more than it actually did.) Anyone with techie tattoos, please disclose below.
Actuallly I really enjoyed checking out some of the ink done at this site:
Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoos
I have just one tat and it is on my shoulder and not really geeky at all. It's just a Greatful Dead "Steal Your Face" tat that I have had since I was about 16.
(Oh - and someone fix this window size please? I hate trying to post in idle just because of this.)

That's why BSD is way cooler than Linux. She-daemon anyone (regular) (nsfw version) (another nsfw? And if you're lucky you could hook up with a real one.
