Today while surfing the internet, I found myheritage.com; which offers a celebrity face recognition feature. I firstly put my own face in and saw the results ( John Edwards - 61%, Thom Yorke - 58% ). After that I decided to run a few friends from some pictures I have. Below are the results.
BR Person Most Similar Celebrity Other Similar Celebrity Results Krivo Bebe Neuwirth (62%) Jon Bon Jovi (58%) Andy Ion Neal Stephenson (73%) Calista Flockhart (61%) Brad Aleksander Kwasniewski (64%) Gisele Bundchen (49%) Clarkson Jessica Alba (62%) Don Keith Urban (66%) Nick Lachey (64%) Ingram Rob Thomas (74%) Jack Osbourne (58%) Jason Mark Feehily (72%) Ashton Kutcher (67%) Ludwig Richard Stallman (71%) Gregory Hines (55%) Monaghan Jarno Trulli (75%) Frankie Muniz (74%) Scott Larry King (74%) Newman (72%) Seth Alicia Keys, Joachim Phoenix (67%) Jay Leno (60%) Steve Terrence Howard (67%) Saddam Hussein (48%) Warriner Jason Biggs, Lee Ryan (74%) Zlatan Ibrohimovic (67%)I don't really agree with the results. The problem being that for most of you I don't have a "straight face, look at camera picture;" but also the face recognition depends a lot on the picture. Take for instance that Scott's wearing glasses and 7 of his results are wearing glasses or that Clarkson has a lot of hair in his picture and gets 5 female results.
Whatever though, it's just for entertainment.

Jason, Wes & I rode some BR street on Friday and came upon this,
...City Limits completely flattened. Let me explain. On this site, there used to be a small restaurant with docking for boats on the BR. I can seriously only remember once ever going there to actually eat; it was with Derek Riberdy, far back in the day. Where City Limits gained its notoriety was in the fact that it was closed and abandoned long ago...maybe 8 years I'm guessing. Well soon after it was closed, we went there and rode the picnic tables they left behind; then we'd cut out a railing to make a bike gap; then we'd build a ledge...and slowly, City Limits became our hangout and the best place to bike in BR.
From what we gathered, it was owned by Lloyd Clickner and he only threw us out maybe once or twice. It was really good and a great place for us all to hang out. Well, as years passed and the BR biking scene slowly died out...so did City Limits. The shrubs and trees we cut every spring we're taking over the place and it was slowly being demolished. The ledges we'd maintained for years disappeared, the roof that used to block the rain was removed and the building that housed our lumber didn't last much longer than that. For about a year or so only the dock remained; until about a month ago, when the whole place was turned into the pile of dirt you see above.
It definitely made me reminiscent and sad. Our youth hangout reduced to dirt. The place that was in my biking video so many times is now just another empty lot.
City Limits R.I.P.
Anyway, we actually did ride some street and I felt like I was 16 again riding picnic tables at the pier on a weekend night.
...even though 360's don't really make for the best pictures.
Another thing I found weird that night was when we rode the high school. It was extremely strange to me that I've rode that place for close to a decade and Jason rode it for 5 minutes and thought of doing something that I've never even thought of. Jason with a wedge bump jump to wallride that I couldn't think of in the last 10 years.
About time we had some BR news on BR nation...

Donnie, Steve & I headed over to Detroit the other day and found a couple of interesting things. Firstly, we stopped at Del Taco for lunch and found that the #5 was a fish taco. Steve will eat anything that you buy for him; so you know Donnie was buying one for Steve.

Steve had this to say about it,
"It wasn't that good or that bad; but it was better than this shitty Spicy Bean Burrito."
Other than that, we saw this stretch firebird(?) on 6 mile,
...and also, this just gives me a reason to upgrade the right side stuff. Enjoy.

You can really tell when a site is slacking on updates when they're monthly. Thankfully, here at BRN, it's every 28 days.
Anyway, I've taken the 28 days because I was vacationing, plus trying to create an update about said vacation. Well; I finally finished and here's the aforementioned update with 100+ pictures recapping Kayla & my trip to Colorado.
Other than that, here's a really weird website.
Updates coming more frequent than every 28 days...I promise.
