Different Photos Different Results

So celebrity face match up's eh? After doing it once with the one photo (last post) I decided to try it again with a couple more pictures.. to test out the results. I'm not sure why this time most of the matches were with female faces.. perhaps because my eyebrows are arched? Hmmmmmm. Oh well. I'll take it. ;) So here's Face Recognition #2.



Hey there's two guys there.

Wow this is clearly bang on, cutting edge technology.
So here's the next go at it.



Apparently the program recognizes facial hair and hotness. Hence that plethora of bearded and non-bearded hotties. Wild.

Karl of Austria was Franz Ferdinand's nephew.. and no, not the band.

Ok so the quest for 1 repeat match has thus far proven fruitless. But I've not given up hope yet! No sirree Bob.

What will it key in on this time? Facial folicular fondness? Glasses? OoOOOoooHhhh wait and see.

Yeah this time it liked the glasses. I'd like to draw everyone's attention to Frank Oz. You know who he is, you just don't know it yet. If you really don't know him then check him out.

This time no girls. But a Priest and a President apparently. Hmmmmm.. Alyssa Milano is still my top match at %80 eh? I think the credibility of this program can start to be questioned now.

Ok here's number 4.. still no match...



Ok so his names really Sean Astin. He was good in LoTR, great in Rudy, truly memorable in Goonies.. but I loved him in 50 First Dates. So good. ;) And I look like Panama dictartor general dude? Huh.. I seriously never saw that one coming.... I think I have more incommon with Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Ok one more and then it's off to bed. Please let there be a match! Restore my faith in online computer screwy things!

Sweet merciful crap! My faith in the internet is once more restored to it's highly elavated stature. Oh and if you don't see how these match that's cause you have to look at the first one I did on the previous post to this one. Well phew, I'm right tuckered out and it's time for me to hit the hay.

Y'all have a good time now ya hear?

ps so my hightest match is Alyssa Milano. There ya go. The internet said it so it must be right.

Oh and for those that want to know how greatness follows certain days? Well a year previous to me, to the day, Nelly Furtado was born. A year after me, to the day, Britney Spears was born. Greatness is birthed on December 2nd. For more December 2nd coolness.. click here.

Now sleep beckons.. and I accept!

Reality hides behind the ordinary. And it's really quite mysterious, fascinating, and frightening. It's often amusing, sometimes unfortunate (from our personal, purposeful bias), and right there in front of us behind the obvious, ordinary routine.

I don't spend much time in Vancouver. I've been there a bit now and then. Two friday's in a row now I've ended up catching the noon o'clock ferry in. Last night I went to a good friend's party with good friends. And other people who I didn't know upon entry but seem like good people. Based upon several hours of association, tempered with the knowledge that as the evening progressed the observations where tinged by the effects of alcohol. It was an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable evening. At one point someone asked where I was staying. I didn't know. I found a place to sleep last night. At one point it was time to leave and so I assisted my friend Zach in the quest to get home safely. He said I could stay at his house. He was rather.. wobbly. So he knew where we were going and I saw that we got there safely. If you're going to err on missing the sidewalk, walk on the lawn, not the road.

Then this morning I ended up riding downtown to go sailing. Then I didn't go (sailing that is). So I caught a bus back to North Van. Then I caught a couple buses to the ferry. Here's 3 things I noticed on my 3 times going down the same road this morning.

That Oasis car wash. That's cool.
There are a number of outdoor stores in North Van.
There is a store that sells household stuff.. shelving I think... and other odds and ends. And it's called Hidden Treasures. Does no one else find this odd? There's a large sign out front inviting people in to check out the "Hidden Treasures". Well they're really not that well "hidden" with the large sign out front. What a hilarious name. Is that irony? I don't know. I think it's silly. That's like kicking someone's ass in the name of non-violence. The idea's there. Kinda.....

Ahsta lasagna,

Oh and I went and got some hairs cut the other day. Went to the old Sechelt Barber. He's known around here as "Bob the Butcher". How's that for an epithet? Anyhoo.. he's a good guy. The price is right. And I walked in and he remembered me. Which I thought was quite impressive as I haven't been around for a number of years. Good guy, Bob. If you're looking for a haircut in Sechelt. He's a nice guy. You might not be huge on the hair cut.... but he's a great guy!

Oh and a buddy of mine sent me his little celebrity look alike dealy.. so here's mine. Perhaps I should try a different picture?
