Separated At Birth

Some people apparently have facial features resembling Ayumi Hamasaki and Adriana Lima; other people don’t have as much luck. I ran my pictures through the celebrity database at MyHeritage Face Recognition and repeatedly got: Aung San Suu Kyi, Jay Chou, Andy Lau, Tony Jaa, Anita Mui. At some points, Marlon Brando, Steven Gerrard and Joi Ito also showed up. How depressing!

    I GOT ELISHA CUTHBERT. Which just proves how amazingly inaccurate it is. *snicker

    hey, sorry for this odd post- but i was wondering if there’s an alternative to iPhoto. This is really because for some reason, my iPhoto refuses to download the photos from my digicam any longer- it indicates it is in the process of downloading, but the photos don’t appear!

    uhmps.

    i submitted my boyfriend’s photo. he got Zhang Yimou. that’s some old-man Chinese director, in case you didn’t know. how gross. speaking of iphoto…it’s not very user-friendly. miss Picassa. boohoo. is there any other way i can make those pretty collages?

    Um, I don’t think perezhilton.com has any monopoly on the phrase ‘separated at birth’ (just ask any other celebrity gossip rag).. and the only celebrity rag i read is wesmirch.com (and why are they all pink?)!

    jane: try using Image Capture (it’s prob already installed) to download pictures to a folder, then adding them into iPhoto manually.

    joanna: urm. i dunno man. i’m using iview myself. but it’s not free. and i don’t think it makes collages either.

    I just love Tony Jaa. I can’t believe he performed all those stunts without wires or CG.
    He is really talented. If only he could break into Hollywood, he would acheive unparalleled fame.
