+## Biographical Information
+
+From time to time I get asked for biographical information and/or photographs 
+for use on conference web pages, print media, and so forth.  I've created this 
+page to gather suitable bits in one place to make this process easier. 
+
+# Resume / CV
+
+* A [brief bio](bdale_bio.txt), suitable for use on web sites and in flyers 
+  for events where I have agreed to speak. 
+* A more data-oriented [Curriculum Vitae](cv) 
+
+# Photographs
+
+This photo was taken in October 2007 at one of my favorite restaurants
+of all time...

+<p>
+These are casual photographs, taken outdoors in Colorado in October of 2003, 
+and the raw frames are 1800x1200 pixels. 
+Click on the thumbnail to retrieve the full size original.  Note that I 
+rotated the thumbnails but left the full size images "sideways" just as they
+came from the camera.

+This is a cropped portion of a photograph taken in Brisbane at Linux Conf 
+Australia 2002.  It's what many conference organizers chose for their web 
+sites during 2003, since most of my talks that year were about Debian and this
+is so far the best picture of me "with a swirl on".  Feel free to use this if
+it seems appropriate.
+Unfortunately, the "thumbnail" is full size on this one.
