A link from @micromobs led me to a NY Times article about someone I know! It's a crazy, small world. I met Drew my freshman year at Stanford. Congratulations on your wedding!
Just got back from a little trip to Sea Ranch. It's a couple hours north of San Francisco right along the coast. One hidden gem we discovered (aside from Sea Ranch itself, which is amazing!) is the Annapolis Winery. One of the owners is a really nice woman, and unlike many wineries, they still have free tastings.
At Siggraph, Will Wright talked about perception. He started off talking about kittenwar.com, which is like hotornot for cats. Two cat pictures square off, and users vote on which is cuter. As Will noted, you can see patterns in the winningest and losingest cats. The winners tend to be small, and many are in a pounce pose. The losingest cats tend to be less fluffy and bigger. From these patterns, Will correctly predicted how two pictures of his cat would do.
Here's a picture of my cat Sparkle, just for fun.
