Picasa 3.5 Now Has Facial Recognition

I’m certain that I’m not alone when I say that the phrase “I have a lot of photos on my harddrive” is an extreme understatement. I have 35,000 photos and images, give or take, and I’m sure that there are many of you that have me beat by a fair margin.

Needless to say, a little photo organization is important, no matter how many photos you have.  A while back I started looking for a program that’s good at doing this, and eventually downloaded Google’s Picasa.

Trey And Christina's Blog

I created this blog as part of a gift to Christina for our second wedding anniversary back in 2007. Unfortunately thanks to Facebook, the blog doesn’t get updated often, though it does have the two stories that are very near and dear to me: “His Story” and “Her Story.”

It’s definitely one of my favorite designs and I like to use this as a prime example of how flexible CSS makes any site.

I’m sure it could use some more tweaking here and there, but because it doesn’t get updated often, it’s pretty low on my list.
