WordCamp Philippines

WordCamp Philippines

If you’re a Pinoy blogger or a WordPress user/fan then most likely you’ve heard or read of this already. But in case you haven’t, I have good news for you. There will be a WordCamp held in the Philippines this coming September 6, 2008. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a little info.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. - Weblog Tools Collection

WordCamp Philippines will be the first ever WordCamp organized and held in Asia. WordCamp Philippines is being organized by a group of Filipino bloggers based in Mindanao who were also responsible for organizing the successful 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit held last year.

What are the objectives of WordCamp Philippines?

…to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.

I’ve seen this before in some of the blogs that I regularly visit and I wasn’t really interested in doing it. I also wasn’t sure on how accurate it was.

A couple days ago, while I was trying to think of something to blog about, I saw that Trench posted about this celebrity look-alike thing. I decided to give it a try and see if it does work and if it’s accurate. So I uploaded the most recent photograph of myself and did the test. I don’t wanna comment but just take a look at the results of my face recognition test. You be the judge.

I don’t think I look like any of these guys. It’s totally unfair for them. Hehe. Anyways, for the female version, the closest match that I got was Pamela Anderson.

    tried this as well. my friends and I think that they just base their comparison on the:

    1. face angle
    2. hair
    3. eyes

    Hehe.. Dunno if it’s accurate. But it’s fun trying it out especially with friends. We all had a good laugh. :)

    Yup, the software takes a wire-frame version of of your face based on the photo you give and it will try to match the resulting pattern to its database of celebrities. Quite neat really. I think this technology is being used to screen passengers in some airports in Europe and America as part of their anti-terror measures.

    But dang! Ricky Martin eh! :D

    @trench - livin la vida loca? hehe :D

    @joni - well, they do ask you to submit a photo that’s facing front so it would be more accurate. yup, it was fun doing it.

    @jhay - cool software! yeah, i think government agencies now use this in the fight against crime and terrorism. actually, it’s a tie between Ricky Martin and Gareth Gates. hehe

    @dre - you should have posted it in your blog. :)

    My younger sis is recommending My Heritage to me but I was not interested.

    I would agree with the result. You have resemblance with Peter Andre and Ricky Martin. Naks.

    @oyo - Probably but from what I know, they use face recognition software and use different aspects of the persons face for comparison then match it with what they have on their database.
