The Best Of All Time. Roger That.


Roger Federer won his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title today, in one of the best matches I’ve ever seen.  Simply amazing to see the offensive speed and power of Nadal versus the quickness and cunning shot placement of Federer.  And you’d think they were performing roadwork with all the line painting going on.

As I’ve said before, I noticed it from the first time I saw him play almost 6 years ago — this boy moves like no one else… and he’s become arguably the best player to ever wield a racket.

The Average Face

Here’s an intriguing demo that lets you select two or more faces and compute a new face based on their average.  It’d be a better exercise if the faces were a little more diverse, in terms of age.  Even still, it’s interesting to see the results.

A curious side effect — the resulting face is almost always attractive, despite its predecessors… possibly from the graphical smoothing effect of the algorithm.

My First (Real) Time At The Shore

Well, originally this should have been a blackout week, as we’re taking a little vacay in Ocean City, NJ.  But thanks to an anonymous neighbor — let’s call him "LINKSYS" — I should be able to post a few items, as downtime permits.

First up, Lindsay enjoys the cool ocean water on her piggies!
