So I saw this face recognition thing on my sister's my space profile and decided to go to the web page and try it out. Simple enough. You upload a picture, it runs it, and tells you what celebrity the computer thinks you look most like.
I run a picture the Ardilla took of me last year, and I get:
1) Daniel Day Lewis
uh... sure. Okay. Irish. Why not?
2) John Mayer
Oh God.
3) James Blunt.
Time to kill myself.
4) Hillary Duff
... WTF?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? I'M A DUDE! HILLARY FRIKKIN DUFF?!?!?! 70% facial feature match??? ... no kidding really?
Other notables: John Lennon, Hu Jintao (who the heck is that?), and Scott Bakula. yes... Scott Bakula.
Oh but this gets better. I'm playing around with this and I put up a picture from my sis' wedding of me and the Ardilla. It recognizes both our faces, and puts them up. The two top pics?
Alyson Hannigan and Vladimir Putin.
So she's a red-headed actress, and I'm an ex-KGB cranky Slavic politician...
... I really should smile more in photos.
Special thanks to IMDb (internet movie database) and the Economist for providing these two pictures of the two celebrities in question.

Where on earth is this site? I loved the post on Asia's blog in which she cast movie stars as her family and friends. This could be really fun...
So! I sadly realized just today that I hadn't ever answered your email. Suffice it to say, it's been a busy time uhg. So Colorado... don't know much about any program you are applying to, but it is a good school and in a very fun town, and a gorgeous area of Colorado with lots of hiking and farmer's markets in the summer and near Denver for the arts, and has this neat trail up into a canyon, about an hour from some basic skiing. Course, our smog is getting terribly bad along the front range.
Uhm... did you have any other questions? Sorry for the delay!
I also think I'm going to be checking out that website!:)
Here is the website by the way. Click the Face Recognition thingy. You're going to have to sign up, but I just gave them a junk mail account I use. So far no more volume in it than usual.
