Facial recognition

I wasn't planning on going through all the photos today.  I'm not even sure how I got started on this task.  I must say that even though its a long, tedious task, it has been kind of fun!

I first went thru and was naming people in every photo.  Somehow I figured out I could click on a person and the computer would generate more photos of them and I only had to confirm their identity, which is way faster than what I was doing.  After I finished confirming I saw the computer found new photos I could confirm.  Technology can be good sometimes!

I have gone through the confirming process several times now with each person.  I found that Lindsay and Courtney were getting mixed up a lot in their baby photos, to be expected.  Eric had a lot of photos that were of Lindsay and myself.  I had photos of Lindsay, my mom, some random person in a photo and a clown!  Justin was being confused for his dad and a couple of Eric.  My favorite though was the computer recognition trying to name Justin's crotch!  It made a box and had the phrase, which it asks every time, "click to name."  (I'm here with the girls, so anything entertains me.)

I don't know how many hours I spent on this very daunting task, but I'm not even a quarter of the way through our photos!  I could be doing this for years.  The good thing is that I was able to enjoy all the photos and memories again.  Lindsay really loves looking at photos, so we did take a little longer because she was calling out everyones name as I was going through them.

The best part of the day was hanging out on skype chatting with Justin... and it was free!  It amazes me how much time we have to talk when he is on a trip out of the country.  He doesn't have any cell phones to tie him up and he can only watch so many movies.  So we were both working on our respective computers and talking.  Lindsay would come in and get upset if I had minimized the screen with Justin's face.  She likes to see her daddy when she is talking to him.  That or she likes to see herself talking to her daddy!  Either way, it was great to chat, work and try to beat the heat!

I love you Justin!  Miss you lots, fly safe!
