Geotagging Your Photos

Wikipedia:

Geotagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media…

Let’s see how this works for pictures. There are several reasons for doing that:

You want to remember where was it that you took some great picture.
Or, you want to brag about it and show your friends the places you’ve visited.

I won’t question your reasons; if you’ve read so far, I assume you’re really interested in how to do it. It’s quite easy: buy yourself a camera with integrated GPS. A phone (or an iPhone). It will automatically add geotags to your photos’ EXIF information.

Or, if you already have a camera (or phone) and a GPS receiver, why not use the data recorded by the GPS and cross-reference it with your photos’ date and time. You only need to:

Orange Pomander: Get Rid of Moths

Orange?, originally uploaded by iLL.

Stick a few (make that a whole batch) of cloves into an orange and let it dry in you wardrobe. It smells nicer, it’s healthier than using chemicals and you can get really artistic.

Face Recognition

Vlad — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:54:00 +0000

Google stepped up yesterday with two launches: a web browser (Chrome) and updated versions of PicasaWeb and Picasa 3 picture management software. I won’t comment much on Chrome, except that it seems very fast and wheel-like scrolling up doesn’t work on my laptop’s touchpad… and I miss the dedicated search box (I really do).

But the new PicasaWeb features something really cool: face recognition. It will analyze all your uploaded pictures and find faces, then group them together and ask for you to assign names/persons. This is not new, Riya’s been doing this for some time already, right? Yeah, but my experience with Riya wasn’t the greatest and I found it almost unusable while PicasaWeb simply… just works.

That’s WOW in my dictionary!(...)
