The dreary view is making me want to curl up with a blanket. Doesn't help that I barely slept last night.

I’m flying through Chicago on my way to Cincinnati and thought this was interesting/timely. Too bad Obama’s speech didn’t help get the bid.

Faces in iPhoto is a really cool idea and it HAS actually worked a little bit for me on occasion, but it’s clearly not working on this specific photo library for some reason. I don’t think it’s actually doing anything at all other than just pulling any face it senses into this “Kyle may also be in the photos below” list. This was definitely not the behavior I experienced on another iPhoto library (using the same computer) so I really don’t know why it’s doing this now.
I can understand it having a hard time distinguishing between all of my kids faces since they do sort of look alike, but...
The boy does not look anything like Patrick from Sponge Bob…
Or Sailor Mercury…
Or his grandpa...
Let alone a bunch of other girls. There are several other images pulled into this set: A multitude of adults with with blonde or brown hair (or no hair at all), other kids from his soccer and flag football teams (both boys and girls of varying ethnicities), and even some of statues and other inanimate objects. It’s basically not doing anything at all.
What kills me is the other library that Faces works on is much bigger. Over 11k photos vs 5k. The only difference between the two is the resolution of the images and the source camera. The larger library is shot with various small point-and-shoots while the smaller library (the one that doesn’t work) is shot with a digital SLR (canon digital rebel). And, Faces takes FOREVER on the smaller library to pull the “may also be in” photos whereas the larger library is almost instant. Something just seems wrong with this equation.
Nice work, Apple. I love your company and pretty much all of your products, but this is just not worth the time to even bother using.
Seeing sights like this every day is inspirational...just wish the iPhone camera could have captured the cloud detail. I love my job.

I’ve been looking and waiting for smaller-sized Oakley’s to get back into the Employee Store pretty much ever since I started working at Oakley back in July of 2006.
Needlesstosay, the Fives XS have never been re-stocked, but I was thrilled to see these Mag 4’s come up on OakleyVault.com recently so I bought three of them for my kids. Just in time too. I think we sold out of them pretty fast. We had several hundred, but they all went within the first few hours of being up. It’s good to have the inside track, hehe.

I can’t believe some people trashed some of these rare and exotic cars for $4500 credit or less. Click through to the Jalopnik post for more images (not the actual cars trashed, basic PR photos) but the original story was published by the Detroit Free Press.

Some may wonder why anyone would want a present that makes you work, but this is a gift most auto enthusiasts would appreciate. Now, I can throw away all the old supplies I had which definitely have had their share of use.
Thanks, Ben!

Here are some before and after pics using the Best Camera iPhone app by Chase Jarvis on some of my old iPhone photos. This seems to be a pretty nice simple post processing app that can sweeten iPhone photos without transferring them to your computer. Doesn't go too far with the effects like most do and you have the ability to modify the various filters in a non-destructive way...well, at least it's non-destructive before you save it.
I wish there was more control over highlights and shadows since some of these have gotten more blown out than I'd like, but in general, this app does a pretty good job. Not surprising since this was developed by a photographer.
Thanks, @holleyimage for letting me know about this.
Looks like we're on schedule for arrival in Port Hueneme in Oxnard on Sunday. Now I just hope it doesn't get stuck in customs.
While I was looking at this this morning, the boy was curious about the route it took and how a boat could “go through land.” I told him about the Panama Canal and @bradhaydon sent us this pretty cool video:
