facerig

So I somehow stumbled onto this software from Steam.  I think it's main purpose is to give you a silly avatar while playing certain online games, but can obviously be used for video chat or just having fun.  While there are other apps that do something similar, this one has the best tracking I've seen so far, and lots of fun avatars including a beer wench.  While I don't like pewdiepie or his channel, he seems to have the best demo of the software:

Just read the story this morning.  Remember when one of the directors (the former wachowski brothers) came out as transgender back in 2012?  Yea well the other sibling has also just come out as transgender.  This is sorta mind boggling when you think about it.  How often do you see siblings both transition, much less celebrities?  And it begs the question, is this something biological or environmental that influenced them, or is it just odds? Here's the story:
