Face Recognition
Saturday, January 27, 2007
I discovered this site this morning and played around with it a bit. I found it rather fascinating and thought I’d show you the results of uploading my photo and having the site search of celebrity matches for it. It appears that I might have been able to serve as a stand in for Philip [...]

Long ago before the World Wide Web came to be, I, like many others, became fascinated with the fact that I could use my computer to communicate with people from across the country and around the world by participating in a BBS.
