New way to download your photos
As a passionate photographer, one of the camera accessories that I loathe carrying with me during travels comes down to the most essential piece I’ll ever need for viewing my photos. I’m talking about that very-losable SD card reader that you purchased or too long USB cable that comes with your camera. What’s worst than using them for me is forgetting to pack any of them which just exacerbates the situation.
Photo by Kevin LimSo as a more sophisticated solution to “downloading my photos dilemma”, I’ve invested on a Sandisk Expresscard reader, which essentially converts a notebook’s Expresscard slot into a resourceful flash media adaptor. It takes most versions of SD and Memory Sticks but the more appealing aspect of the device is its “set it and forget it” model.
You just slide your media card into the slot, it will click into place and if you have a MacBook Pro, an icon will appear on your desktop indicating card recognition. Just one less gadget to pack because you can leave the Expresscard inserted on your notebook knowing that it’ll be there when you need it again.
Kevin Lim has a video on Flickr with instructions on using the device.

Here Comes Kindle 2.0“Sources say the new version is significantly thinner, has a better screen, is more stylish and includes fixes to some of the user interface annoyances with the first version. One person that has seen the device says it is as big a leap from its predecessor as the iPod mini was from the first iPod”.

The reasons why the Zune has failed and will continue to fail are due to the following reasons: the wrong product strategy, an overcrowded market, features that do very little, poor advertisements, and the unavailability of the product in stores.

6 gadgets I can’t live without
1. The iPhone: Absolutely aesthetically pleasing to look and so simple to use. Nothing compares to it regardless of what all those Blackberry users say.
2. Digital camera: For common use, I have with me in the car a Canon A80 and when I want to engage into true photographic mode, I whip out the Nikon D80.
3. Bose Noise-canceling headphones: whether it’s music or a movie that you want to focus on, you can’t truly appreciate it with all the distraction around you, so your option is to block it out with these sweet headphones.
4. The iPod: Despite having an iPhone, I’m still a proud owner of an 80GB iPod Classic. I use it during more physical activities such as the gym, running, bicycling.
5. Xbox 360: I still have bragging rights in the block to be one of the first to own a PS3 but I often find myself still resorting to the mighty 360.
6. Cuisinart Coffee Grinder: I’m not as much as a coffee person as my girlfriend is but it’s great to know that we have a machine to pulverize coffee beans. It’s nice to look at.
