Face Invaders

This stunt is up & running in this year's FILE in Sao Paulo. 


note you need a webcam for it to work.

it's a web-based version of a larger install; the sketch is there, but there are details that are too much for flash... the facial expression recognition slows things down to a sixth of the speed... also note it's only 320x240... on linux i can do 800x600 at 60 fps, but in browser on decent machine i get about 15 fps w/ 320x240, and about 2-5 fps w/ 640x480.

the real magic is someone porting the haars stuff from opencv to flash. 

maniac !


i'd like to trick this out more & install a few other places.

let's play global thermonuclear war

Let's take a moment while still hungover from July 4th celebrations to put the recent N. Korean Patriotic Display of Weak Weapons to put it all in perspective:


the first hydrogen bomb blast is impressive. the precambrian meteor blast is impressive. hiroshima & nagasaki, compared to those two, not so much. and the N Korean display, not impressive whatsoever.

nuke it

screw work

The US now has fewer jobs than it did nine years ago. 

Unemployment is at 9.5 percent, a 26-year high. 

It's the first time since the Great Depression that a recession has wiped out all the jobs created during the previous business cycle. 

June unemployment:

10 percent: Adult men
7.6 percent: Adult women
11.7 percent: Female heads of households
8.2 percent: Asians
8.6 percent: Whites
12.2 percent: Hispanics
14.7 percent: Blacks
24 percent: Teenagers
