Ever wonder where you put those pictures of the wife and kids? Do you have the sneaking suspicion that your computer thinks you look like Fido? Do you have a gazillion duplicates of a picture that you want to delete, but don't know where they are? PixALike can help you answer these important questions. It'll tell you how much you resemble Fido, or even the Grand Canyon. Simply give the program a sample picture and it'll go through your directories comparing the images. The Demo program reads JPEG images. Check back every so often, since I'm still fiddling with the evaluation routines.
