How come more people don’t causally throw back a few shots at home? I think its a great way to come home from work, line up a few shots and toss them back.
That’d wash the stink off.

Must have.

Amazing — a 400MB HDD that as on-board the Columbia during her disasterous 2003 re-entry was recovered and the data has been used to complete the project. Completely amazing.
The Kroll people managed to recover 90 percent or so of the 400MB of data from the drive with its cracked and burned casing. Now, a few [...]

Wow. I wrote a bad review of Cameta Camera and they offered to PAY ME to take it down.

I know I promised to review the Flip Ultra a few weeks back, but I wanted to wait until I had a chance to really mess around with it. I have. It rules.
There isn’t much to say — low light, bright sunlight: it doesn’t matter! There is really only one button to press: Record.
