How to get Author data into Google search results without Microformats?

Question

First, I apologize if this is not considered programming related enough for some peoples taste, however I feel it is appropriate as my question is related to what you put in a websites markup, I think so anyways.

Ok so I searched Google for the term dribbble invite and on page 2 of my results, or at this URL Google result the 5th result on page 2 (will probably be different for you based on your location and other factors) There is a result like the image below

Notice the author Photo and name. I am looking for how to do this with a website? From my research in the past it looks like it is done with Microformats however a search through the source code of the page HERE does not appear to be using any Microformats.

Any idea how this is happening for that website?

Typically, this is done through Google+.

There's a pretty good article on how-to here :
