A user has asked for input form the MikeDiDonato.com readers.

Is this shirt awesome? or is it totally lame?

Here’s a close up of the fabric

Sweater Thursday! An idea that I got from Darcy. BUT! It just so happens that today is also the anniversary of Mr. Roger’s birthday. (and coincidentally, today IS kurt’s birthday – happy birthday kurt!)

All the more reason to wear something warm and comfortable.

Irene in her radioactive lab. (note the signs)

Ryan Schenk looking nautical.

Alicia sent two glorious shots depicting the versatility of her sweater.

Kurt likes to celebrate his birthday with a heaping jar of Hellman’s! Good for you Kurt!!

Jesse contributes with a fantastic sweater. Double guns complete the image.

Here’s Andrew! If Waldo of “Where’s Waldo?” had a myspace page, this would be his picture.

Jocelyn goes argyle. Shown with left hand thumb up.

I decided to go for a red sweater. Shown with right hand thumb up.

Did you wear a sweater today? Send an e-mail to me with a picture and I’ll throw it onto the website.

Meet Darcy. She works in Irene’s lab. She invented something called Sweater Thursday. Let’s join in the fun tomorrow by all wearing sweaters. Take a picture of your sweater self and send it to me: mikedidonato AT gmail D0T com. I’ll pass it over to Darcy and we’ll all be one fun internet community of sweater wearing people.

Not too shabby. I found the first one tough as I tried to get used to the format. I found the last one technically challenging for my exhausted fingers.
