Just in case you like to know, I'm currently full-time father of 2 kids, half-time Perl hacker, sort-of DJ, bicyclist, no longer dreadlocked and 33 years old

I'm also head of Vienna.pm [pm.org], maintainer of the CPANTS [perl.org] project, member of the TPF Grants Commitee [perlfoundation.org] and the YAPC Europe Foundation [yapceurope.org].

I've got stuff on CPAN [cpan.org], held various talks [domm.plix.at] and organised YAPC::Europe 2007 in Vienna [yapceurope.org].

upcoming mohawk preparation

[ #33268 ]

My urge to cut of my hair (waistlong dreadlocks, if you've never seem me IRL) is getting stronger every day. I mostly blame the (warm to hot) weather (and of course YAPC::Europe)...

I'm still not sure if I want to keep a few dreadlock attached to my head, or get rid of all of them. And what kind of media coverages I should make of cutting my hair. There'll be at least simple before/after photos, but I think it would be fun to cut the dreads from the end (or beginning?, well, the looose end not growing out of my head..), only taking away a few milimeters per cut, and taking a photo after each cut. This could result in a nice stop-motion movie, especially if played reverse (i.e. going from short hair to looog dreads in a few seconds). Downsides of this aproach are that it will take ages to do, plus there won't be any souvenir-dreads left...

mmm, souvenir-dreads for auction...

I think that you could safely get away with cutting off a few dreadlocks whole without it being noticable, then do the time lapse trick on all the rest. That way, I think, you get to have your cake and eat it.

  My thoughts exactly. You could cut off a few from anywhere on the scalp beforehand, more or less, and no-one would be any the wiser.
  
  Otherwise I think the time-lapse photography idea is great. Just remember to jab your head with a really large metal spike attached to the wall or something, to ensure that your head doesn't shift in the frame, otherwise the effect will be lost :)

    I wonder what body part will first get auctioned…
    
    … on second thought, forget I said anything.
