I went to the Mini Seminar: Professional Headshots event. The main thing I learned at the event was from Shiv about tying the Eldredge tie knot. I looked up more information about the knot after the event, and apparently it was invented in 2008 by Jeffrey Eldredge, a systems administrator from Salt Lake City, Utah. You can even find his original video still, here: https://youtu.be/i5n_Sp18_Go

or if you don’t want to watch the video, here’s a picture from ties.com:

and then if you want to see what Eldredge was basing his knot on, you can look at the Ediety knot, also called the Merovingian knot because it was worn by “the Merovingian” character in the second Matrix movie.

I also, of course, got my professional headshot, which makes me look pretty goofy, but I think I always look like that. Thank you for taking my picture, Sabrina!
