The Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 is 40GB external
hard drive that is clunky, cheap-looking, has a crappy text-only
integrated screen, plays MP3s, but not WMA, AAC, or OGG Vorbis, and
can only read from one card from its card reader at a time. So why
would any photographer want it? Because it's cheap, it does the
primary job it was designed to do (act as remote backup for memory
cards), and can accept as many additional 2.5-inch laptop hard drives
as you want to swap into it, meaning that all other things aside, you
can purchase this single $335 drive and continue to upgrade it for
only the price of additional hard drives. Read -

Today is my 42nd birthday and I have yet to wake up. I like
to run away alone
to some quiet corner of the world on my birthdays, but haven't been
able to since
I got married. I wish I could be standing somewhere in Tibet
right now, completely
lost and grinning for no reason at all.
I want to be somewhere where I don't have to think about
things like Bush, Iraq,
Google, or Atom. And I want to be there without hours of jet
engine noise.
Maybe I want to get there in a merchant ship, puking across the
Pacific and telling
passing whales 'sorry but you piss in there too, don't ya?'
Why do I like to get away on my birthdays? Well, I do get
into a really weird
mood in the first place, and I want to remember all of my birthdays
by eccentric events.
Living the everyday life is like living in a mine, you can't tell
what time it is
without a watch. It's like being told the wind outside is
30mph instead of feeling
the wind on your face. Being alone and somewhere I never been
before lets me
feel the 'wind' of life as it passes by.
Oh, heck. Maybe when I retire, I'll pickup my travelling
stick again.
Until then, bitching is all I'll be doing.

London Congestion Charge
: This is an interesting Wikipedia article about the
"congestion charge" levied on vehicles entering the busiest zone in
Central London. Apparently traffic was so bad here, that they charge
people $9 US for a day pass to drive in it.
Those sneaky Brits are too smart for mere tollbooths for
enforcement:
Two hundred and thirty CCTV-style cameras, of which 180
are installed at the edge of the zone, record a stream of video of
roads in the zone. There are also a number of mobile camera units
which may be deployed anywhere in the zone.
It is estimated that around 98% of vehicles moving within the zone
will be caught on camera. The video streams are then transmitted to a
data centre located in Central London where a computer system equipped
with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (OCR) software deduces the
registration plate of the vehicle.
Here's another good
article about the technology. I think the Brits have pioneered
this just because the numbers on the license plates are so
big.

GOTMILF? Not anymore, for vanity plate car owner07/22/2004 06:40 PM Michael Syravong thought he'd
pulled a fast one on Washington's Department of Licensing when he got
a license-plate that read "GOTMILF." He told the department that MILF
stands for "Manual Inline Lift Fluctuator," But eventually, bluenoses
who are somehow familiar with the true meaning of the acronym (Google
it for the not-safe-for-work answer), complained to the department and
Syravong lost his plates.
