Do You Know Who I Am?

Just how long will it be before we get the mug shot photo?  We've all seen the celebrity mug shot after they are arrested for late night hijinx.

Once you hit the really big time your every move is followed closely.  There are twitter storms and blogs and even official news reports.  Unfortunately, it inevitably leads to an attempt to use fame to get around the norms and rules of society.

After a late night of hanging out at the Hands On Labs at a local VMUG, our celebrity guru blogger and author will get stopped on his way into the backstage area of the labs.  He just wants to grab a slice of the free pizza for the lab techs.  The security guy wants to see his badge.  The badge doesn't have the right color dot.
