OK, so the name isn’t the best. Granted. But my front-runner for tastiest tech bauble of 2007 was reviewed today by Walt Mossberg’s protege Katherine Boehret. Originally only available in an SD version, my friend Andy alerted me last week to the news that the Eye-Fi now comes in a CF version, too. It’d be interesting to give one of these a test run before buying it. I take so many pictures of Ava, I’m not sure I’d want to upload them straight to Flickr without first changing their privacy settings. Also, I do all my photo manipulation on my MacBook, but I imagine I can specify its IP address somewhere so all the images end up on that computer. But then it would have to be awake, I guess, to accept pictures. Hmmm.
Also on the photography tip, an early resolution for 2008 is to take more pictures and save/upload fewer of them. I was going through my archives the other day, and I have a lot of crap photos clogging up my NAS, not to mention Flickr. A rough appraisal reveals that I could probably get away with uploading one out of every six or seven shots I take. A lot of them shouldn’t even make it off the camera. In addition to saving space and time, I’m hoping this new regimen also forces me to take more care in setting up my shots in the first place. Wish me luck.
