This shot you guys took of a truckstop patron caught my eye and gave me a chuckle:

I showed it to She Dragon and She in turn wryly pointed out the salty growth of barnacles that’d recently taken hold on my own face:

Here’s some workflow helper scripts for digital photography. A couple of assumptions are made with these scripts:

• You use OS X 10.4 - mandatory since this stuff uses Automator.
• You use Adobe DNG (version 3.2) - not mandatory, but you have to take out the dng conversion steps.
• You want your photos stored in a date hierarchy, specifically /yy/mmddyy/yyyymmdd-xxxx.dng. The xxxx is the original number from the raw file. As an example, a photo taken on Aug. 11th, 2005 would be stored in /05/081105/20050811-2927.dng.

• I use a Canon Digital Rebel, so the naming conventions are CRW_xxxx.CRW, CRW_xxxx.THM, and IMG_xxxx.JPG

Points of interest:

• crate full of bunny rabbits
• crate full of “meal beetles” or whatever you call the beetles that meal worms turn into
