Picasa Facial Recognition and more

Have you seen that the latest version of Picasa now has facial recognition built in? Previous to this release - you could upload your photos to Picasa Web Albums, and the faces would be found and organized there. Now you can do the same thing on your computer. If you have thousands of photos it will take a lot of time for your computer to process the pile...and really - if you have had a digital camera for any length of time - you have thousands.

When it is done, and even before it finishes, you can start adding names to the faces it finds. As it looks at more and more photos - it gets better. But - if you have kids - no matter if you think they don't look alike - Picasa will find photos that will match your kids. Photos of them at the same ages will look strikingly similar.

Give it a try - you'll have a lot of fun.

Yard Work #18 & #19 - September 21st and October 10th. The grass is growing again, even as the days turn colder. The rain is increasing - though we had a nice fall, dry, blue sky week this week. Soccer games today were at 8am and 10am - and it started out at 40° this morning. But the blue sky and dry wind makes up for that.

Finally got my new camera this week - I should have some new soccer photos to post soon. Just need to install the Nikon software and download the photos....

Just give me time....
