Over the weekend, we updated our Picasa software because Google had released a new version. One of the new features is facial recognition. It scans all of your photos, finds all of the different faces, asks you to label them, and then allows you to sort thousands of photos by the people who appear in them. It took a while to scan because we have a ton of pictures, but it was fun and wonderful and amazingly good.
or this one when he was about a month old…
Yes, yes it is, but it was an ultrasound pic from roughly 33 weeks gestation. Al Capone wasn’t born for another 5 weeks after this “picture” was taken. I’m not sure if I’m creeped out because the ultrasound pic was just that accurate or because Google was good enough to match a 33 week fetus to his 4 month counterpart, but I am impressed and very creeped out.
In other news…we finally got Al Capone’s birth certificate in the mail and when they copied it, they cut off the right side, so for example he was born at 11:1 not 11:15 pm. I need to call and ask about getting replacement copies, just in case he wants to do something like grow and be President. I would hate for him to not be able to run for President because there are large numbers of completely crazy people who claim elaborate babyhood conspiracies where babies born in midwestern suburbia without clearly visible birth times are really preparing to become dictators.**
*It did have some trouble with the baby pictures. I had to label a lot more as Al Capone before it started picking up the majority on its own. With most adults, I only had to identify one or two before it did the rest.
***That’s not actually going to be my reason for asking for replacements. My real reason is that if I pay you $21 to make me 2 copies of a single piece of paper, I expect that you would at least take the time to make sure you copied the entire paper.
