Blingfactor: I'm a Chump?



Today, I bring you something a little new and different, and totally un-photographically related. Before I get to that though, I wanted to share one image from Saturday's shoot of Cody and Jude with my friends over at MKD (that's Jude above).

More to come from that shoot later this week when I get home and, you know, deal with the skunk debacle that has been my life for the past week, but that's a story for another time. (Long and short of it - everything I own smells and I haven't been home since Thursday).

Moving on, more on why, apparently, I'm a "Chump." Yeah, yeah, Doug, we knew that. Thanks. But now it's quantifiable. I really am a chump, not a champ - Blingfactor told me so.

Blingfactor is a site that takes (91 currently) attributes about you and compares them to your peers in order to give you an idea if you're being paid commensurate with your skills.

For example, it's telling me that someone with my education, foot size, birth order, hours I work, how tall I am and undergrad football conference, should make $59,270 a year, which I don't, hence chumpdom.

Blingfactor is the creation of Adam Levitt and Kenny Berlin (Adam was a college roommate of mine), and I've been a beta tester of theirs since day one (beta tester, guinea pig, you get the idea.)

Anyway, to find out if you're a champ or a chump, head on over and take a look, the site just went live today. I'm off to have a talk with Adam about getting my status changed to "Rockstar".

The coolest thing about that photo? The little light reflected in the corner of his sunglasses.

I tried to find out how much I am worth, but Adam's site won't send me a confirmation email. Hmmm. That must mean I am so valuable, their algorithms cannot even handle it. It's okay. I get that alot. :-)
