Hearing The Breeders, Little Fury
Hi folks -- so the AOL Developers Conference was pretty good, even for a non-techie like me (though I don't think we'll ever match the level of, say, Steve Ballmer's now-legendary performance at a Microsoft developer conference in 2001).
Tomorrow, I'll talk more about the keynote address, which was given by Don Tapscott, author of the book Wikinomics -- it was very interesting, and chock-full of quotes.
For now, though, I just want to share a photo from CTO Balan Nair's intro; during his intro, he talked a little about AOL Labs, including their Celebrity Look-Alike project.
As I blogged earlier, I suggested that their matching algorhythm might need some work, since I don't think I look particularly like William Hung.
Apparently, I was right, since here's a picture of Balan Nair:
[Update, 6/15: OK, the Labs folks let me know that the above results were doctored up as a joke. I missed the joke. See my followup blog entry for more info, and see the AOL Labs Celebrity Look-Alikes blog for the real results and more.]
Thanks -- Joe

Hi Joe, I'm not sure where to post this question so I am going to take a chance and post it here. I have a lovely piece of music that I would like to put onto my journal. I don't know how to do it. I have uploaded it to my FTP space here on AOL. I just need to know how to get it into my journal. I would like it to play each time someone opens my page. Is it possible for you to let me know how I can possibly do this?
Thanks!
Marie
