a minor rant

Friday, August 28th, 2009

So you know I just really wanted to keep my site about useful information reciepes, prodcut and resturaunt reviews and the like. For some reason I just need to get this one off my chest and to be honest it’s not a big deal more like a splinter under my skin.  Lately I have started increasing the number of people I am following on Twitter to include more of my hobbies and more of my work skills and that has brought on lost of new things to read.  Most would find the information helpful, validating and new; I however have not.  I really don’t mean to toot my own horn here but I am just so stinking tired of reading things being presented as OMG NEW!  OMG NEW TRENDS in photography.  I watched a video clip about the TOP 10 new trends in Photography.  That was what pushed me over the edge.  I watched the entire clip and loudly proclaimed HELLO AND WELCOME TO 4 YEARS AGO!  Then I started reliving things and rememberd something to the effect of how to take good wedding photos and it was really mostly lame. 

So I guess there is a market for all the usless knowledge I am carring around in my head.  SO if you have seen my site and have any questions regarding any of the things I dable in please send me a line.

Product Review – SanDisk 8gb SD cards – OH HELL YEAH!

Monday, April 6th, 2009

I am pretty sure that there are a couple of companies out there that just know how to pull my credit card out of my pocket and get me to hit check out.  SanDisk knows the way to this girls hear OMG buy 3 SD cards, free shipping and mail in rebate.  Earlier in 2008 SanDisk ran a sale on 4 gb cards, I bought 3 and got a $75 rebate.  So honestly I am pretty set on SD cards I have 3-4gb cards, a 2 gb and 2- 1 gb cards.  Wonder what happened when right before Christmas I got an email alerting me about a 3 card deal on 8 gb cards?  Well of course I bought 3 SD cards for me and 3 CF cards for KLT.  I had no issue with the first rebate and it’s not been long enough to worry about the additional rebates.  :)   So I say if you run across an opportunity like this DOOOOO EEEEET!

 I want to tell you what I think about my SanDisk cards. OMG !!!  378 raw plus jpgs on one card and I have 3 of them.  That is ~1100 pictures with out ever dumping a card.  Don’t forget I get 1 jpg and 1 raw so really that’s 2200, If I only shot RAW it would be more like ~1400.  The only downside is that this ruins all of KLT’s plans to throw the pictures across our own little network and duplicate them on the spot the next time I did a wedding.  ;)

The little pouch that comes with each card is nice, I like to toss it in my purse so I can work on photos at work.  My earlier purchase also gave me 3 USB SD card readers so that is incredibly awesome.  I am fully equipped with enough SD space to actually keep pictures on them as a back up until all files are copied from the laptop to the media server.  :)

I am currently using one fo the cards in my purse lappy for extra storage.  You can believe that when they offer the next size for this good of a deal I will be buying them!!
