Yeah yeah, updates. Graduation is coming. I'm busy.
But I just picked up this story over at Ars, and it was just a little to cool/relevant to pass up. Eye-Fi is a company that makes SD cards for your camera, and they recently rolled out with new ones. SD cards are no big deal, so why talk about them? Well the newest ones have all kinds of tricks up their sleeve. For instance, the Eye-Fi Share gives you the ability to store 2 GB worht of photos, and then upload said photos to your computer wirelessly. Through the SD card. What?! You can also upload to Flickr and whatever site you want. Wirelessly. Through your SD card. What?!
The one I like is the Eye-Fi Explore. Which is an SD card, but basically has a functional GPS like ability to figure out where you are, and then record Geotags for each picture as it is taken. This rocks the socks right off expensive GPS cameras, and programs that you have to run your photos through in post. The little guy uses Skyhook, which is the service that uses WiFi hotspots and the like to determine location. Soooo, if you are in the Sierras... it probably won't work. But still, pretty cool considering its ALL IN YOUR SD CARD. Would be pretty cool for a suburban geocacher. Ars says it runs $130, so its not for the weak at heart.
As for me. School is almost over. Woo!
