The photographer for BC Business Magazine was over this morning to take my picture for an upcoming issue. They wanted to project an image that blogging can be done anywhere and at anytime, even when you’re in your bathrobe. Luckily, I just happen to have a nice Versante bathrobe laying around.
The photo session lasted over three hours as photographer Nick Westover tried to capture that “blogging in jammies” look. We took some shots of me sitting at my workstation and with my notebook by the stairs. Even Sally got in on some of the photos.
I didn’t get a chance to see any of the photos so I have no idea what they look like. However, I’m sure it’ll look better than this.

Yes, you really can blog in your bathrobe. Look for me in the June (or July) issue of BC Business magazine.

I think a world record was probably just broken for “largest smile”!
Not only the smile is great, I think the kimono is nice jejeje
3 hours ? Last time I got photographed for a newspaper article it lasted 3 min and they even managed to print my name wrong
Congrats on the BC Business. More exposure (like you needed it)
Nice pic!
Nice work! Not the first time you are in the newspaper. Hope everything goes well with your blog. But, please post some more money making tips! Looking forward to that, since I´m visiting your blog everyday.
3 hours.. didn’t you have to go to the bathroom?
Argh! That piccy is scary.
The REALLY evil John Chow.
You twister psychopath!
lol your pictures are always great.
Have to agree, some thing rarely found in our industry

I blog in my jammies too, while eating, while holding my baby etc…
Dude, that is one scary picture.
That pic looks hilari-o-u-s
. Hey, how come you have to desktop. Looks like one is used for blogging and the other is for COUNTING UP YOUR MONEY, huh? 
John is pimpin…lolz
I’m perilously close to having to explain why I’m laughing out loud when I’m not supposed to be reading blogs at work! Your smile made me laugh out loud, you look like you just got caught with your hand where it shouldn’t be!
congratulations hey.
How do you manage two LCD with one mouse only?
Great photo…. !
i’m surprised that someone don’t know how to manage this, but here you go:
just drag one window from one lcd to another with one mouse.
it’s really simple
Johnchow.com open
MsN/AIM Open
Adsense Stats Open
we do pretty much the same thing, and yet you make thousands! I wish I had a calculator by my workstation all the time, but alas I dont need it yet.
John, I noticed your rubik’s cube! How long does it take you to solve it? I can usually do it in about a minute and a half.. although I’m a little out of shape now.

I just saw the video….thats fast…whats your IQ john and for how long have you been solving cubes?
hey, I was able to score in a local soccer game after 15 seconds..thats also nice!:grin:
Omg looks like the Mrs. caught you doing something you shouldn’t have been doing
And what is this about someone asking how do you use 1 mouse with 2 monitors? Doesn’t anyone else use dual monitors? It’s the only way to go!
What do you need baby wipes next to your computer for?
They’re great for cleaning the LCDs.
Nick is supposed to show up at my place around 6 to take my shots for the article. I’m not big on having my picture taken so this should be interesting. I sure hope he doesn’t stick around for 3 hours, that’s awfully long for a photographer to be kicking around.
Look forward to reading the article, hope it’s good!

It’s an Office Star High-Back Mesh Chair. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=51418026
You need something like this

I have a massage chair. And it’s way better than the Sharper Image one. Cost a ton more too.
Ever tried it as computer chair ?
I don’t have the buying power that you do
so I must limit my simple dreams to what I can eventually reach/afford
They have been going down in price a wee bit lately since newer model came out.
Witch one do you have ?

Nice chair john!!!

Yep. 17.7″ x 15.7″ I like lots of mousing space!
Wow…great to see your big smile man! Remember to post the magazine to let us see.(malaysia dont have BC Business magazine)
John
Please more photos of your home office!!!!
Bye
wait for the issue of BC mag and you’ll surely see a lot.
Hey John, Why do you have 2 LCD screens? Does both share the same cpu? How do you utilize them?
Yes, computers can operate with multiple monitors. With my computer’s Windows XP operating system, it only took a few keystrokes and mouse movements to set things up.
And according to the studies that have been done on it, adding an extra monitor can increase your productivity by 20 to 30 percent. BTW, nice setup John.
I use 2 screens in my home office. Productivity is far better with this setup then just a single screen, especially when trying to move data between a spreadsheet and email for example. You can copy from 1 screen to the second with out having to minimise and maximise the 2 windows.
LOL! You look like such a doofus.
Will be waiting for the June/July BC Business magazine, especially for those awesome pics!!!

hah i have to agree with ed ..you look like a doofus

Wet ones and a stuffed animal — great decor you got there, John! I swear, your pictures just get better and better each time. You should tell the guys at BC Business to use this rather candid picture instead.
