I subscribe to a weekly email from Wired magazine. Included was a link to a Gizmodo blog entry about what sounds like an interesting technology for use in digital cameras. Bizarrely, I immediately recognized the picture accompanying the entry:

Not only have I seen that picture before, I’m in it. You may recognize me as the right-most blurry blob.

The picture is from a rugby match I played in with the NU rugby team back in 2002 while we were on tour in Andorra. The original image can be seen here: blurry lineout. I’m the blurry number 6.

The real question is, what in the hell is that picture doing in this Gizmodo entry? How was this picture found by some random Gizmodo editor? I did a google image search on “blurry photo”, and this picture actually came up on the 3rd page, so maybe this is all just a crazy coincidence. Go figure.
