I don’t care what it’s called, I would totally subscribe to that guy’s blog or bring him on board projects and campaigns. Just look at how amazingly citizen journalismy he looks! And sweaty, too!
If you feel like turning this into a caption contest, knock yourselves out, but this image will definitely be incorporated into whatever re-branding goes on around here. Many thanks to @leslieann44 for snapping the image — no, I was not posing, that’s an action shot, baby.

That’s pretty nerd-hot. I like my men press-badged and camera’d. :)

Shelby, I’ve really enjoyed this discussion. I have almost nothing to add except to say once to make up a name for this, and yes I believe that you will do so, likely in a dream sequence.
It will stick, I feel sure of it. Embrace the edgy, and don’t worry about what people might think or judge based on a name, who’d a thunk the world would take Bono or Sting seriously but that one name, it’s a winner in my book.
As far as the national radar, pretty sure you just need to follow Slappy Kingston around for a week, he’ll step in something and one of your gadgets will capture the moment.

You can TOTALLY be the next Tucker Carlson, but you gotta start wearing a bow tie.

Aw, man, Tucker Carlson? For real? I was hoping for something a little more Anderson Cooper. Or maybe even Edison Carter, but with better hair.

All that plus this http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ymSCYSxaBtQJ:lh3.google.com/_KVxmSTti0KQ/Rf8YRbQywfI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Xh3HRfw8yLo/s800/P1020994.JPG
I’d say you’re the next social media super action hero ala Tobey Maguire. Kung Fu or just plain Ka-Razy, you were definitely a man of action at ISEF. Great getting to meet you on the scene.

I am with @kenekaplan, definitely leaning super hero. More of a Clark Kent look with your hair color and cut, now all you need are the glasses.
How’s the avatar version of this coming along?
Also: wanted to add further credibility to your claim about this shot “for the record.” As the photographer, I can say with 100% certainty that this was you-in-action and not staged.
