Here’s an update on the Eye Fi wireless SD card.  I picked up the cheaper home version at Amazon (I’m not sure how, but we got it for $59) and it arrived yesterday.

There’s a quick software install on the computer you want to have receive the pics, plug in the SD card (with included USB adapter) to the computer, and then it has you stick it in your camera and give it a try.  Behold, it works like a charm!  Brought it down this morning to take some pics, and sure enough, they’re sitting there waiting for me.  No syncing, no cables.  I’d highly recommend if you take pictures but hate getting them off the camera.  Or if, like me, you get the pics off the camera, then leave the camera next to your computer for the next week.

They have Mac software too, if any of you, I don’t know, are having a kid soon and want to take lots of pictures to send your friends on the west coast…

The Mac Brick has been all the rage on the tech sites this week.  Here are some pretty believable pictures of it.  It’s been sold as a Mac carved from a solid brick of Aluminum.

I’m curious to see how the mac fanboys spin this as the greatest thing since sliced bread. “no…no, you don’t understand, the top half of this is carved from one piece of aluminum!!!” So, instead of two it’s one? It’s twice as good!

Of course the whole thing couldn’t be carved from one piece or they’d have to puree the motherboard and hard drive, pour them into the thing, and somehow reconstitute them.

Joyent.

7+ hours of downtime.  Joy.

This has been making the rounds in the past couple of days – and I had to share because it gave me many a chuckle. Plus, excellent film! I recommend seeing it without the format war subtitles.

I want 10.

Thank FSM something is going to make this primary season more bearable…controversy!

Multiple indications of vote fraud are beginning to pop up regarding the New Hampshire primary elections. Roughly 80% of New Hampshire precincts use Diebold machines, while the remaining 20% are hand counted. A Black Box Voting contributor has compiled a chart of results from hand counted precincts vs. results from machine counted precincts. In machine counted precincts, Clinton beat Obama by almost 5%. In hand counted precincts, Obama beat Clinton by over 4%, which closely matches the scientific polls that were conducted leading up to the election. Another issue is the Republican results from Sutton precinct. The final results showed Ron Paul with 0 votes in Sutton. The next day a Ron Paul supporter came forward claiming that both she and several of her family members had voted for Ron Paul in Sutton. Black Box Voting reports that after being asked about the discrepancy Sutton officials decided that Ron Paul actually received 31 votes in Sutton, but they were left off of the tally sheet due to ‘human error.’

Certainly won’t dissuade anyone from buying one. That’s one burly-ass bitty car.
