Eye-Fi Explore – Automatically geo-tags your photos

1 Comment / Cameras and Photo, Gizmo of the Day, GPS, Portable / By /

We featured the Eye-Fi SD card that bundles WiFi connectivity onboard. Stick this in your digital camera and then you can automatically upload your photos to your favorite photo sharing website.

Now Eye-Fi is rolling out a new version of its product dubbed the Eye-Fi Explore that goes one step further – it automatically geo-tag your photos by using nearby WiFi access points to triangulate your position. Eye-Fi partnered with Skyhook Wireless to provide the geo-data.

We saw a geo-tagging gadget called the GPS Photo Finder back at CES, but I’ve got to say this wins out, because you don’t have to take your SD card and stick it into a different device.

Gimme!

Motion Sensor LED Spotlight

Motion Sensor

A motion sensor spotlight that runs off batteries is perfect for those spots that your outdoor lights do not quite reach or that extra dark hallway at night. You do not have to worry about having to install any new wiring. The light only works at night so your batteries are not wasted, and it will also shut off automatically. You can also adjust the brightness accordingly. This is great for the not so handy man. There is nothing complicated about this product. This is also a great product for those who want some thing that will not affect the electric bill.

Wouldn’t You Say $60 is About Right for Mother’s Day Gift?

1 Comment / Cameras and Photo / By /

So how about this 7 inch widescreen LCD digital picture frame with clock, calendar and alarm? It’s only $59 (after $20MIR). The picture frame is widescreen which makes it easier to display landscape pictures and with a remote it’s easy to flip between pictures, click over to the calendar or clock setting.

It’s safe to say any Mother loves pictures of her kids, grand kids or anyone else in the family tree. That’s why you can’t go wrong with a digital picture frame.

digital picture frame

With Mother’s Day still a couple weeks away, you can order this perfect gift today and have plenty of time to load it up with family photos. I did a similar thing for last years Christmas and it was a hit. Brought tears to Grandma’s eyes.

Considering the $60 isn’t too much for a Mother’s day gift, feel free to check out more details on the 7 inch widescreen picture frame.

As for the company line we have:

“The full-featured AXN-9702 7-inch digital picture frame functions as a calendar, clock, and alarm, and also supports MP3 music playback. It comes with a card-style remote control, built-in memory that can store up to 15 pictures (depending on size), USB input jack, and an AC/DC power adapter. The super-slim remote controls viewing and music options to enhance your experience without leaving the sofa.

Use the USB jack to download media directly from a USB flash drive. SD, xD, MMC and Sony Memory Stick flash media compatibility make it easy to show off pictures without a PC. MP3 playback, built-in speakers, and the calendar and alarm functions round out a cool, convenient multimedia experience.

Comes with manufacturer’s limited warranty (90 days Labor; 1 year Parts).”

GCycle – New website that helps you locate recycling locations near you

1 Comment / Cameras and Photo, Computers, Gizmo of the Day, Miscellaneous, Networking & Internet, Phones, Portable / By /

G4 (yes, the cable TV channel) has launched a website, called Gcycle, devoted to helping you find locations near you that will recycle electronics, batteries, computers, etc. Although there are already similar sites out there, they certainly aren’t as flashy. This one is totally done in Adobe Flash and is a little ‘jumpy’, but then they were going for a unique, cartoony look and succeeded.

Bottom line is that it has the goods. Punch in your zip code, select the stuff you want to recycle and it delivers. Before you do that, hit the Flummoxing Facts link and be flummoxed. It’s staggering, a bit sickening and frightening how much we’re tossing into landfills. Not only are we polluting at a ridiculous rate, but we’re going to run out of resources to make more and new gadgets in the future!

As for my comment about there being other sites to help you find recycling resources, I say bring them on in droves. We need as much info out there to drive up awareness, and it needs to be easy for folks to find it. Google helps; use it. Please.

PicLens–Firefox Extension is a Photo Library Revolution

3 Comments / Cameras and Photo, Miscellaneous, Software / By /

PicLens The Internet’s collective library of images is vast. A quick Google image search can quickly locate a picture of pretty much anyone or anything. Flickr is not only a great site for hosting your own photo albums, but the ability to search and browse other people’s photos is a pastime in itself. The problem is that in 2008, even with broadband, and 2 gHz processors and gigabytes of RAM, web surfing is still something of a click-load-scroll and click again affair.

PicLens is a Firefox extension for Windows or Mac that takes the flat, utilitarian view of a Google or Flickr image result and turns it into a 3D wall of images. You can zoom in or out, and scroll down the wall with speed that literally might make you dizzy (my wife had to ask me to stop to prevent her vertigo from kicking in). Read on for more details. …
