Disney
asking its female employees to to help design an animated male lead
reminded me of the average human, a
post I made a few years ago.
Amazingly enough, the Face
Research Make an Average page still exists, only with a new
crop of pictures.
I thought it might be interesting to compare how averages made with a fresh
set of pictures would hold up to the previous set of pictures and
remarkedly, they are very similar in nature.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
