How Many Degrees of Separation.

There’s an unknown man on my desktop.
Yikes!
It’s not as dangerous as it sounds. Actually, this photo is on my desktop. My daughter is in front, and mystery man is in blue on the right.
It occurred to me that perhaps I could use the power of the Internet to find out who he is. And more important, what he’s thinking about.
Not that I don’t care about the other people in the photo – the guy in the grey shirt and the lady with her shoes off.
It’s just that Blue Shirt looks serious and purposeful. While Barefoot surveys her pedicure and Grey Shirt checks out some babe across the street, Blue Shirt is clearly pondering something important.
I’m betting that on the Internet, there are fewer than six degrees of separation. And this is a perfect way to find out.
The photo was taken May 30, 2006 in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue right outside FAO Schwartz, which had just closed for the day. We’re next to the new underground Apple store, just off 59th.
Mr. Blue Shirt – who are you?
