The Parties of WPC11


 

Here’s a collection of pictures from a few of the parties I attended in the evenings during WPC11. Some great locations Smile

LA Dodgers


The night I arrived in LA, the World Famous LA Dodgers were playing the San Diego Padres so it seemed only right to go and watch them Smile  I couldn’t sleep on the plane so when the game started, it was 03:00am in the UK – and also my head!

I have to say that I really enjoyed the game, although I’m still not quite sure about the vast majority of the rules Open-mouthed smile Also, the “Dodger Dogs” really are world quality hot dogs…very tasty indeed!

Ripley’s Believe It or Not


 

I’ve always quite enjoyed Ripley’s Believe It or Not and Hollywood is home to the original (and best?), so I had to pop in and see just how tacky it was Winking smile Luckily I had some downtime before the crazy week of WPC started Smile

Pictures of Los Angeles


These are some of the pics I took in my recent trip to LA for the Microsoft WPC 2011.

Microsoft OneAlbum


Microsoft Research have got another great project on the go, this one is called OneAlbum. Using advanced facial recognition algorithms, OneAlbum will scan the photos on your machine, identify the people that appear most often and then go off and find relevant pictures in other people’s social networking accounts.

This will be perfect for finding all the pictures of you/your partner/your kids that were taken at the last birthday/BBQ/impromptu gathering and posted by a bunch of people on Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, Picasa and countless other sites.

I’m  not much into gatherings and pictures and social networking (Twitter excluded) but I can imagine that a lot of people spend a lot of time going through people’s accounts trying to find pictures from last night etc 🙂

Thanks to Mary Jo (again) and her article here.
