Faces

For lack of anything better to do, I started playing around a little bit with Faces in iPhoto.

Generally I don’t like iPhoto. Like iTunes, it forces you to drink Apple’s Kool-Aid and let them do what they want with your files. Unlike iTunes, iPhoto doesn’t even offer you the option of doing things your way. You’re forced to import your files into a monolithic database which takes up half again more space than the photo files all by themselves.

Where iPhoto rules, however, is in its unintentional, purely comedic application.

I don’t take many pictures of people. They ruin my photographs of perfectly silent, inanimate objects. I had to dig pretty deep to find pictures of real, living people that I could tag and let Faces do its thing. The results are pure comedy gold.

For instance, I apparently look like a truck tire, Johnny Damon, a dead horse, the Blessed Mother, Steve Jobs, and a young Negro statue. Among other things.

Of course, I am tickled to be compared to Pedro Martinez, Abraham Lincoln, Machiavelli, Queen Victoria, Napoleon and the Coliseum.

Unexpected hilarity. I need more of that in my life.
