There are occasional Orcmid sightings and it is time to compile some of them. There are two I keep saying I will put here, and I see that others can be clipped from time to time.  There is no chronology to it here, and each one has a story.

Original Sketch by Elizabeth Weeks Pankey at the Small Business Summit, March 14, 20062006 March 14.  At the Microsoft Small Business Summit Live Event in Bellevue, Washington, on March 14, I was at a table with Elizabeth Weeks Pankey.  Elizabeth made the drawing during the morning session.  I was unaware of it until she showed me the pencil sketch in her 5-inch sketchpad.  I requested a copy and she e-mailed me two versions that evening.  The first is the original sketch, presented here.  There was a second that she had taken beyond the initial sketch.  Something about the spontaneity of the pencil sketch kept my attention and I asked for a good-resolution version that I could use on my site.  Elizabeth also granted me permission to display it on my blog until 2007 March 13.  That's a wonderful gift and I'm also happy to link to her, though she didn't ask me to.

2005 January.  Licensed Orcmid.  My driver's license is up for renewal.  I will be retiring the photograph taken for my first-ever Washington State driver's license in 2000 (left).

When I made my renewal, I was issued a temporary paper license printed in black-and-white using a screened image (right).  I saw a preview of the color image and will be pleased to have that instead.

 

Orcmid as Apparition2004 August 7.  Orcmid as Apparition.  This is a great coincidental sighting.  The photograph was taken by Dave Winer at a Scoble BBQ.  The "real" subjects are Jeff Sandquist and his youngest daughter, with an edge shot of Sarah Revi Sterling.  This seemed like a cool Avatar to use on Channel 9 and wherever else on MSDN that my profile shows up.

An orcmid sighting: I guess I am not that 18-year-old in my mind after all2004 December 15.  The Met Orcmid.   I've been attending blogger meet-ups and geek dinners.  These lead to additional sightings, such as the one captured by Jon at a downtown Seattle Weblogger Meetup.  Funny, this is not who I recognize in the mirror, and it doesn't fit the mid-30s voice in my head, either.

I want an Avatar for myself and I wanted to collect the orcisms somewhere.  This is a start on that.  Also, I must remember that the other persona was Sterling Templar, not Edwin Templar.
