Friday: No theme.

The continuing saga of "they're doing stuff in my office for the new fire (?) alarms":

It's not in use yet.

The clouds looked cool when I left work, as well.

I should have taken a few more pictures to fill in the horizon a bit better.  I also need to remember when I do these that I should take a "straight up" shot.  Also, you can see the moon as a tiny dot on the right.

This would be a link, but I played with the bot using a variety of blog images I still have in /tmp/.  I think this is far more impressive than the "guess your age" thing Microsoft had a while back.  If they can get this working correctly, it'll be great.  Write a quick bot to push a bunch of images through it, and I can finally put together a database of reasonable guesses at what all the pictures I've saved over the years are without having to do it myself.  It clearly still has problems:

• Ok.  Sure, China.  Sure.
• What are you doing, Dog?  You can't cook!  You didn't even wash your paws!
• Wonder Woman.
