Blog Correction: Those Are Not My Boobs
Astute readers have pointed out to me that the photo and caption from Friday’s post seems a little disingenuous. You may recall it as a hand clicking a mouse, with the caption “I have no life,” referring to my obsessive examination of WordPress’s “Random Post” mechanic:
What I did not notice when I lifted the picture from a Google Images search with my usual assiduous attention to copyright law was that the body attached to the hand differs from mine in a key respect: I would never be caught dead in a white sweater.
Also I do not have boobs (I suspect that I would have noticed if they’d appeared recently, and the blog would not have updated because I would have had better things to do). The image used yesterday is a stock photo and has no relation to me other than that I needed a picture of a hand clicking a mouse. In my defense, however, it is the same mouse I use.
I apologize if I accidentally misled any of my readers into thinking I have an awesome rack. Longtime readers will recall from the Topless Men Post that I have no such thing. Regular content will resume on Monday, with greater attention to detail when stealing images from Google search results.
Thank you.

LOL. I hear you about trying to find good images for blog posts. I worry about copyright issues, too. But I discovered a great add-on (to Firefox) called Zemanta. It attaches to your blog and what it does is find pictures that matches to the words you type (and it also finds links). Many of the pics are in the public domain, so you don’t have to worry about copyright infringement. I highly recommend it. Oh, and it’s my favorite price: free. http://www.zemanta.com/
The chest is not so far fetched as the spotlessly clean desk.
I dunno, I’m torn. Convenience versus getting to plump the depths of the internet and call it “work” — that’s a tough choice. Impressive add-on, though!
