??? did Robert Redford loose all his hair? 

Yeah, Ive noticed that. My everyday,youthfull Brad Pitt-like looks always seem
to come out looking more like an old curmudgeonly Charles Darwin...
  Im searching in the code for the bug..

It's the webcam and it's driver's fault.  M$ has a "how-old.com" web site, and it says I'm 73 from a jpg off the LifeCam.  Not even close, and in the wrong direction.  The camera really does add (at least) 10 years.

Dont feel bad Kirk..  Im 56.. My B&W photo from the video example came out as 65. I figured maybe it was because it was
black and white, so I snapped a quick colour one, it was then 75. So as I laughed, I turned up the lights and tried again. I was
then 85. Having gained 20 years in 10 minutes I gave up as the math indicated Id be dead of old age within the hour.

Try doing it as a negative and see if you get younger ?

Looking at the world around me, Im not sure getting younger would be an improvement.

So we have reached the singularity, and they're trying to get rid of us, starting with the mature citizen programmers that might notice first?

Ok, Art

  My son just called me to tell me all about the tv show called "Shark Tank" that aired tonight.  There were 2 girls on (one of whom has recently left Microsoft) have formed a company to sell figures created by having a customer submitted a photo which they will then put a 3D image of that person's head on a super hero body.  My son reports that the Shark Tank staff had valued the company at over $1,000,000 and they were interested in the company.  The short fall right now is they don't have the 3D software developed yet.

  Here's your chance to get stinking RICH, Art!

My son says if you can't locate the show info, he will do some more legwork, if you need it, though we both figured you's have no problem finding it!

  Amazing world isnt it? I wish them great luck, I suspect they had calls
from a host of good mathematicians the day after. Im still working on a much
improved ( hopefully) 3d puller for the fall, perhaps Ill add a superhero
body arrangement..
