<p>The notoriously messy programming language can sometimes resemble something like a Jackson Pollock painting, but a software engineer and former Googler named Colin McMillen decided to take Archibald’s idea and run with it. McMillen discovered that when random paint splatters were processed by OCR software, it resulted in valid Perl code 93 percent of the time.</p>

Eric Schmidt &amp; Jonathan Rosenberg, 2014-09-23.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>In October 2010, a couple of Google engineers named Colin McMillen and Jonathan Feinberg launched an internal site called Memegen, which lets Googlers create memes &mdash; pithy captions matched to images &mdash; and vote on each other&rsquo;s creations. Memegen created a new way for Googlers to have fun while commenting acerbically on the state of the company. It has succeeded wildly on both fronts. In the fine tradition of Tom Lehrer and Jon Stewart, Memegen can be very funny while cutting to the heart of controversies within the company.</p>

Jennifer Tharp, <em>The Tartan</em>, 2009-10-12.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;Our goal with accuracy is to produce a digital file that is better than a professional human transcriber. To achieve this, we need to combine the output of OCR software with the human answers from reCAPTCHA and decide, for each word, what the correct spelling of the word should be,&rdquo; said Colin McMillen, a full-time programmer for reCAPTCHA.</p>
