Religious programming

Here is a snippet of discussion I had with a colleague today.  I thought it was funny:

[2:59 PM] Him: this is your prob:
[2:59 PM] * Him sent file IMG_04092012_145925.png.
[2:59 PM] Him: “&” is not valid char in xml
[3:00 PM] Me: hmm
[3:00 PM] Me: how do you know? :)
[3:00 PM] Him: i prayed to the lord and he showed me the way
[3:00 PM] Him: you didn’t, right?
[3:01 PM] Me: I have a different lord apparently :)
[3:01 PM] Him: your lord is not a programmer!
[3:01 PM] Me: no, my lord can parse & in xml just fine … your lord is a pussy :)
[3:02 PM] Him: lol!!

Mustachify.me web service

Mustachify.me web service

Here is a nice little web service that, given an image, recognizes faces and adds mustaches to each face on the picture.  Appearing as mildly funny and mostly pointless at first, it actually packs some impressive technology.  I’ve thrown a whole bunch of different images at it, and all the faces were recognized correctly.  Not only that, but the mustaches were tilted appropriately to match the face angle.
