Sony GPS-CS1KASP



A GPS logging device for geotagging photos I took (adding location to the photos). It can also be used for a number of other usages.

New gadget: Griffin Simplifi, a perfect for those who have an iPod/iPhone and also into digital photography.





It saves the devices into one, cutting down two USB cables into one, reducing occupying two USB ports to actually increase the availability of USB ports. Best of all, it makes your desk look a lot tidier and better.

(for comparison, an iPhone Dock and a rather compact memory card reader:)

Just got a GE PS2 Optical mouse for $11.20 at target to replace my dying Microsoft PS2 Scroll mouse.

It's quite nice.

Me too. It's a lot better than the old one, and I have only been using it for acouple of hours now.

11.20 is a really good price, xD I guess I hit the jack pot.

Something I've always wondered about monitors that big is whether or not they tend to require you to move your neck about to see the entire screen at once. Did you find that you had to sit back any further in order to see the screen?

No need for that, I can see the whole monitor just fine. Smile It sits at roughly the same spot on my desk that the G24 occupied.

Don, most people keep a suitable distance to the monitor. Just like most people don't watch TV on very close distance and complain about the signal not being the 'optimized'/'native' resolution.

For anyone interested, I took a bunch of screenshots from Call of Duty 4 and Crysis at 2560x1600. Link.

No, I did not get the 30-inch monitor. But I got a well known portable HDD - LaCie Rugged Hard Drive.

here are the photos: (click on following thumbnails for larger photos.)

Yes, I ordered it from Apple Store.


The contents:


The device:


Since this LaCie Rugged Hard Drive is designed to be use when carrying out with my 15-inch MacBook Pro, it makes sense to compare the size with my MacBook Pro, iPhone 3G, iPod touch. (the shining surface of MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPod touch is due to invisibleSHIELD protection film)
