Sorry. Didn't mean for my macabre humor to regard your namesake.

Nope Keith....
After experiencing me, MIT, Percy Faith, and that programmer all decided that ANYONE could improve on the original.
Actually, I love that MIT project. PBS had a piece on it, with Alan Alda narrating, going into the reactions that humans have to expressions, and how we unconsciously relate to and with facial expressions and body postures.
Desmond Morris, an Australian ? clinical ? --maybe behavioral--psychologist did wonderful work on cultural differences and similarities in expression and gesticulation. When I did my photojournalism stuff, I used a lot of his work to help folks understand why and how they related to images based on unconsious reactions to facial expressions.
As for the expression "kismet," I've always either heard it used much like Americans use the expression "That's life," in sort of a not-quite resigned manner of acceptance, or in a "No telling the future" meaning.
Of the definitions I've read, "a portion of life" is the one which most had meaning to me, long ago when I first came online. That's all I have...a portion.
Have a good holiday.
