You may remember the (failed) chronicles of Boaty McBoatface and its subsequent use for one of the ship’s subs instead.
Apparently Google just released Parsey McParseface today, and Racist McShootface is bidding on some guns.
This makes me happy. Happy McHappyface?
In other unrelated things, GSA Softball has started up for the year, which means lots of nice opportunities for me to get my sports photography on.
It’s been about half a year since I’ve done photo stats, and I’ve gotten a new camera since then. Photoshop album now reports 408319 tagged photos through yesterday (May 12).

It’s worth noting that, even though the D90 has 7863 more shutter releases than the last stats, I’ve only kept 3725 of those photos (~47%), which means I’m editing down photos much more heavily than I used to. Similarly for my new D7100, where I only keep ~60% of the photos I take with it.
I also only keep ~37% of the photos I take with my work iPhone. (A lot of this is probably due to picture quality… since my photos with it tend to come out blurry, I usually spam the shutter button when I’m using it, and delete the junk later.)
For contrast, I kept more than 98% of the photos I took with my D50.
This is good, both for looking through photos later, and also for hard drive space.
No graphs for now… more graphs probably when I hit 425,000 photos.
Life is good :)
