Yay! Bruce is going to post a blog entry
So here Bruce and I are working through a sample post together with pictures.
Here are sample images:

Who is Martine McCutcheon?
I've been on this face recognition website MyHeritage.com for the past 1/2 hour trying to find out which celebrity I have a resemblance to. Heehee, this service is like what you get at the Fisherman's Wharf tourist shops where you pay $19.95 for a CG-simulated carpet ride around the Bay Area (not that I actually paid to have one of those videos made of me one fateful winter holiday afternoon in which the videographer mistook my brother and I for a couple and made us do unmentionables. Ick, I need a mental purging now.).
Somehow I was hoping for a miracle, or maybe a malfunctioning of the code, so that the "mirror on the wall(or internet in this case)" would tell me that I look like Angelina Jolie or Courtney Cox. After loading up 4 different pictures of myself, 3 of the results came up with Martine McCutcheon. I need to google who this person is... Anyway, here are the results. I see a better resemblance to Christina Ricci. Not bad, I guess. I guess the distinguishing features are full forehead, full cheekbones, and hairstyle.
Two boobies and a sea of bow ties later
Many have approached me and asked how the Oscars went. To which I have had to burst their bubbles, no glamorous ladies wearing designer gowns that are worth my annual salary. The whole setting was more of a cross between a wedding reception and a holiday party that happened to take place at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons, which is also overrated. So not to be a party-pooper, but it really wasn't all that.
I was however excited to see Maggie Gyllenhaal and her fiancee, Peter Saarsgard. More excited by the latter. I have a lot of respect for both of them because they are actors of high caliber who I assume conscientiously chose challenging roles in independent films. Of course we saw more of Maggie since she was presenting the awards. It had to be a challenge to summarize the nature of the sci-tech awards since the descriptions were not only highly technical, but I assume were also of "specialized" technologies or concepts. During her introduction, they showed 10 minutes of vignettes from many, if not all, of the movies she's been in, including Donnie Darko, Secretary, and some other ones that I now want to see. I think the introduction was appropriate though - to my surprise, many people do not know who she or P. Saarsgard are. Maggie looked very much like the girl next door, and amazingly youthful for someone who just had a baby only 4 months ago. I was immediately aware that she had triangular arms, very un-Hollywood, very much like mine, very human (hehe).
So now a month later, and after the highly publicized Oscar Awards have aired, I'm sure many people are just casually wandering in cyberspace to revisit the details of the event. And I don't know how they're doing this, but 2 people - my boss and my brother - have told me that they've seen pictures of Max through the Oscars website. Of course it piqued my curiousity, especially because my boss said that his wife stumbled on this picture when she was looking through some best dressed feature section. Well, I personally am not surprised because I took part in picking out Max's tux but to find it among the celebrity Oscar's site, well I just don't know how that could have happened.
Anyway, the closest that I've come to what they may have found is through this article titled "
Geek Glory - The Technical Oscars: ILM and the Foundry". But of course, I had to look pretty hard to find it AND it's pretty far removed from the topic best dressed at the Oscars. And here's the picture which is described by the blog entry title.
