What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today?

[Ghoulish Delight]

I stupidly downloaded Picasa to have it scan through our photos with its face recognition software. Only after 2 days of working with it did I read some advice that said, "If you have a lot of photos already and are somewhat of a perfectionist, don't bother." A week later, on the one hand, I'm glad I didn't see that else I would never have gotten as far as I have. On the other hand, holy hell has this been tedious.

I find that has become my new solitaire - anytime I'm just killing time in front of the computer - or I'll just open it up in the background to start cataloging away.

One interesting side effect is it adds people to your Gmail contacts - so now I have the likes of Freidrich Nietzsche, Hugh Hefner, and Salma Hayak listed in my address book with other people I know.
