Looking for that perfect gift for the photographer in your life\u2014or yourself? The Click-Bit Photo Tracker uses Fuzzy Logic and IAI* to track every photo you take. I bought two\u2014one for each arm. Here’re the details of my personal experience. And BTW, in case you can’t tell, this isn’t an ad – it’s a joke. <\/p>\n

Where did my delightful journey with the Click-Bit Photo Tracker begin? Let me tell you.<\/p>\n

My friend Kasia (not her real name) bought a Click-Bit bracelet a few months back to track her photographic activity and immediately became obsessed with recording every detail of her camera life. Not passively obsessive, either\u2014she became a compulsive, fanatical, evangelistic, raving maniac. An unfit Click-Bit twit. Amazingly, the Click-Bit fit her wrist perfectly, despite the fact she wears a men’s size 48  shirt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kasia\u2019s ex-boyfriend Karl (not his real name\u2014his real name is Carl) has the knack for diplomacy that\u2019s just slightly smaller in volume than an ant\u2019s navel. So when he decided to split, he told Kasia that she was beginning to get a little saggy\u2014around the lens cap area, I think. So after she dumped Karl, Kasia bought the Click-Bit and began bullying everyone around her to do the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cI set daily megapixel goals,\u201d she told me. \u201cIf you get a Click-Bit, we can compete.\u201d<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t having any of it. I don\u2019t like<\/em> to compete\u2014that\u2019s why I drive a Subaru, drink Folger’s instant coffee and buy my blue jeans at JC Penney.<\/p>\n

\u201cClick-Bit warns me about over sharpening<\/em>,\u201d she beamed. \u201cYou know you <\/em>have a problem with your <\/em>Unsharp Mask<\/a> sometimes, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy problem<\/em> is overindulging in HDR<\/a>,\u201d I countered. \u201cThe readers told me so. Anyway, I use the High Pass Filter<\/a> method these days to avoid those little aliases.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou mean \u2018artifacts<\/a>,\u2019\u201d she corrected. \u201cWell, my Click-Bit also gives me a running total of my Image Compression<\/a>. Can you beat that? And it\u2019s all so<\/em> easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the next 17 minutes, Kasia (whose real name I think I should tell you now so you can stay away from her is Katarzyna, which means “Pure” in Polish, although I have no idea why anyone would accuse her of that). Anyway, for the next 17 or 18 minutes she connived, cajoled, conspired, coaxed and did everything within her power to con me into buying a Click-Bit Photo Activity Tracker of my own.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a free iOS app; it uses IAI*; it’s the only thing she wears to bed; last week alone she downloaded 1,300 images; her Moir\u00e9 pattern is almost back where it was when she was a freshman in college, and so forth and so on, for what seemed like forever.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the band is even 18% gray<\/a>,\u201d she said finally, in a last ditch effort to sway me to become her Click-Bit Buddy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d I said at last. \u201cYou know what kind of guy I am. I never trust technology until The ShamWow Guy has made a TV commercial about it.”<\/p>\n

We argued. She called me a “luddite” and told me to Google it. So I called her “gormless” and suggested she had cabbage for brains. Yes, we were really beginning to hit it off, and started going to Burger King to sit a bit and drink coffee together. Their coffee is almost as good as Folger’s Mountain Grown if you add enough milk and don’t mind waxy paper cups.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Cupid intervened and got fitted for a Click-Bit. What appeared to be a budding romance, however, veered sharply off the road as her obsession with the Click-Bit craze intensified.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kasia added a few more bracelets to her collection.<\/p>\n

After the Click-Bit came the Sit-Bit for her dog, and for her dim cousin, a Nitwit-Bit. Next came the Knit-Bit for Nanna. She bought one for the lavatory, but I cannot tell you the name.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou act like I\u2019m becoming a compulsive, fanatical, evangelistic, raving maniac. A totally unfit Click-Bit twit,\u201d she said, bit-erly, staring bleary-eyed into her Git-Lit-Bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the bit fits,\u201d I said. And ran like hell.<\/p>\n
