genetic basis of face recognition

Any of y'all face blind? Do other members of your family also have trouble with face recognition?

I ask because one of the better known face blindness research teams is, as always, looking for more people with face blindness, _especially_ if multiple members of a family all have it.

So, go fill out their contact form if you're face blind/prospagnosic, especially if others of your family are, too. (it is very likely that the more severe the congenital face blindness, the less likely one is to realize that it's missing. Finding out I had it caused me to ask my mom if she did. She did, but did not realize it)

work, oddity

weird moment of the day:

Looking up while walking in one of the main hallways at work, and seeing an inexplicable black thing. While staring at it (because I could not reach it), a co-worker (who is reasonably familiar with me) wandered by, looked where I was looking, and pulled it down.

There was, for no apparent reason, a completely black mouse pad just sitting on top of one of the wall partition things, and it did not belong to the nearest cube's person.

I really do notice the oddest things!
