I know, I know, you
want to be all trendy and hip, so here's how to make your own vCard.
(Note: the first step in being trendy and hip is to not use the word
hip.) Here's how: set up your own personal card the way you want it,
and then choose Card > Make This My Card. This will change the icon
for your personal contact card to a silhouette of a person rather than
a square photo icon, letting you know which card is "your card."
If you've got a lot of contacts and want to get to your card fast, choose Card > Go To My Card.
If you want to send your card to somebody via email (to show you're trendy -- and that other thing), choose Card > Go To My Card and then File > Export vCard. Save your vCard file someplace convenient for quick access (mine is on my desktop), and send it as an attachment to any email message.
You can also drag and drop your card's silhouette icon right from Address Book onto Apple's Mail icon in the Dock; this opens a New Message window with your vCard attached.
