Q4: Friends, fun and food
02013-Q4 Reykjavik, ICELAND: The end of 02013 was a busy and exciting time for us. We didn't accomplish as many of our goals as planned because we were caught-up in exciting new projects through-out the year.
In November, our team attended the 1st Edition of the pop-up Sumendi Restaurant for Restaurant Day. Afterwards, everyone had the gastronomy bug — in a good way. Now we can smell some ideas cookin' for 02014.

More image metadata than you thought
The Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum had an interesting problem: how to search their collection of images in new and interesting ways. Their labs team came-up with an ingenious solution by using the entropy of an image. They took the color histogram and computed a value for the image complexity. Then you can sort by most complex to least complex. Using this same idea, they were able to create an "interesting" crop of any image with the most entropy.
They labs team have done more interesting work searching by color promiscuity and other attributes. If you are processing images and looking for new ways to browse, you should read the Cooper-Hewitt Labs blog.
They even have an official Cooper-Hewitt GitHub account if you are interested in looking under-the-hood to see how it all works.
