:: Knowing where I stood on things ::

Wednesday, January 16, 2008

One of the most valuable and yet most annoying parts of my photo-taking endeavors is manually geo-coding my pictures so that I can track down their locations later and plot them on a map now. The ATP Photo Finder looks to alleviate that a little, hopefully bridging the gap between my carpal-tunnel-inducing manual tedium and fully automated integrated-GPS cameras (incidentally I saw a press release about a year ago from a Philips spin-off working on an innovative solution to this - only capture the raw GPS satellite signal streams at the time of picture taking and crunch them later on upon transfer to a computer instead of in real time, which requires the inclusion of more space and power-intensive chips - if anyone can find it let me know). I support this product if only because it is philosophically compatible with my stance that humans should be saved from every possible form of data entry where their brains are not the sole repository.
