How would I go about using face recognition with a USB camera, NOT the Pi Camera Board? A link to a tutorial would be fine. I know it was possible with OpenCV, but is it still, and how?

Edit

Can I get it to just detect my face (only my face, no one else's) and when it does execute some code?

It is sure possible to use a USB camera on RasPi. Try getting a good resolution camera. you can find some useful information in this link.

Regarding detecting only your own face. You can use one of many image processing techniques. I recommend using Haar cascade classifier as it is the easiest and you can easily understand it.

In your case you have to train your own detector. Here is a tutorial where you will find out how to train your own Haar classifier.

Hope I helped.
