I _do_ miss being able to create events by clicking on parsed text (which Google Apps supported), but not all that much.

@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ I recently abandoned iPhoto as a means of storing, organizing and managing photo
I began by exporting my iPhoto library to a folder using [Phoshare](http://code.google.com/p/phoshare/)[^iphoto]. I then created a simple [Hazel](http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.php) rule to scan my iPhoto library for duplicate images or videos and discard them. Clearing duplicates from my iPhoto library saved me 6 GB in space which either speaks to how disorganized my library was to begin with or how bloated iPhoto managed to make it.
After clearing duplicate files I created another rule to rename all photos based on the date they were taken and what they were taken with before then organizing them in to a subfolder based on that date. From there organization was simply a question of looking through each folder and appending an event title after the date the folder was named with.
After clearing duplicate files I created another rule to rename all photos based on the date they were taken and what they were taken with before then organizing them in to a sub-folder based on that date. From there organization was simply a question of looking through each folder and appending an event title after the date the folder was named with.
Once all of the above rules were run on my Dropbox Photos directory I edited them to run on my [Dropbox Camera Uploads directory](https://www.dropbox.com/help/289/en 'How do I use Camera Upload?'). This allows me to upload photos via the iOS Dropbox app or import it directly from my camera and have Hazel auto-organize any content based on event date which I then label and move to a folder in the Photos folder named for the year in which the pictures were taken.

I used to be (and suppose I still am — to some extent) a fan of heavy metal. Almost all the bands I listened to released records through small labels or independently with small print runs for each release being the norm. At the time, half the fun was not only finding new bands but actually _finding_ their releases, so you could even listen to them. No band is all that great if everyone can listen to them and all that — exclusivity is king and all that (there was a sense of ownership or being in the know that came along with finding a new band and being able to refer fans of similar music to them).
Streaming services have eroded a lot of the excitement inherent in the old process of discovering new music. Now you can follow playlists or immediately stream just about anything anyone recommends to you (there are some notable exceptions — one of my favorite bands, Canadian punk act [NoMeansNo](http://www.nomeanswhatever.com), only has a greatest hits compilation distributed digitally). As silly as it is, I get less excited about finding new bands now and I tend to over-listen to releases I'm excited about, burn out on them and move on. As fans, we're less invested in what we're listening to because we didn't make the effort to discover it and the financial investment in a physical release or digital download to really attach us to it. Sure, we _are_ paying for music inasmuch as paying a [Spotify](http://spotify.com) or Beats is paying for access to music ... but we're not directly supporting artists by buying those releases, by seeing the artwork, by having to go through the tea ceremony of pulling out a vinyl record and putting it on a turntable.

We have more access to music now than we've ever had, but we're much less invested in it. Maybe streaming proponents are right and streaming services will raise the money spent on music consumption in the aggregate, but I can't help but think we're losing something in the process. We've gained so much in the way of convenience and lost a lot with respect to the experience.
