Eye-Fi Cards can now post directly to Flickr, Twitter, and RSS (Tiny Screenfuls (JoshB)) by Josh Bancroft

Eye-Fi SD cards add Twitter, Flickr, RSS support - Boing Boing Gadgets.

These just keep getting more and more appealing. An SD card with built in wifi, geolocation tagging capability, and now the ability to post straight to Flickr (it didn’t have this before?), Twitter, and RSS feeds.

They’re still kind of spendy, though. $99 for 2GB, I think, is the current price. When larger cards (4 and 8 GB) are so cheap (less than $15, sometimes), you have to really want what the Eye-Fi cards offer. I want one, but I don’t know if I want one to the tune of a hundred bucks. :-)

I am so tired (Punkadyne Labs (Punkwalrus))

I swear to God, if I get paged tonight? Or don't get sleep? Working from home tomorrow. I am tried, depressed, and my stomach is so messed up from lack of sleep, I feel like I am going to barf.

I scanned a few more photos. I have a LOT of photos of people from my youth that I am not scanning because I had this really crummy set of cameras as a kid. My first camera was a Kodak 110, you remember those? With film cartridges that looked like a little phone headset? I had one of those until high school, when I ended up with a Kodak disk camera.

Both of these little things were great for portability, but the film quality sucked. They were very grainy, plus the lens was cheap, and the paper I got to print on was usually a "satin finish," which made it ever so bumpy. I can't work with most of these pictures: the come out dark or washed out. And back then, you didn't know the shot looked bad, you had to find out when you got it developed.

Thank God for digital.
