So I am thoroughly impressed with the new Photos app to index and search existing photos by what the algorithms recognize, geolocation and people…

I experimented a little bit searching for old photos that I knew existed but have had a hard time finding just like they described at IO today, the endless scrolling through past photos, and I found a few things that it could not find.

Never fear, find the old photos once, change their information/description using the desktop/browser version of photos and then a little while later they will be included in search results.

I don't know if it learned it by how I placed some similar photos into a named album or just indexed the info I added.

#Enhancement  What this brings to mind is that the Photos app should ask every now and again to tag/add info/describe photos in your repository that it has issues assigning.

[Begin rant]

It is that time of year where I find out that the county assessor has been smoking crack!

Can you say bubble?

21.7% increase in the value of my home … Will cost me most likely an additionaly $330/yr in property taxes. Funny how that is about what an appraisal costs …

What a wonderful stimulus!
