INOI By Argosy Research Photo Hard Disk, 20 GB Palm-Sized Portable Backup Storage Device & Card Reader.


Functional

By Steve Orcutt from Havelock, NC on 3/6/2008

 

4out of 5

Pros: Strong Construction, Lightweight, Reliable, Convenient Interface

Cons: Only 20Gbs

Best Uses: Image Storage, Digital Photography, Image Transportation

Describe Yourself: Hobbyist/Enthusiast

The only con to this is that the HDD is only 20 Gbs. It would be great if it was larger. Oh well.

One tip, at least with Windows Vista; It probably won't install on the first attempt. Try it again, it will work the second time. Don't know why but each first time I connected it to my two Vista machines that's what I had to do.

My First Book!

Back from San Diego

Well I have returned from San Diego. I'm tired, no worst for wear, and packing a ton of new photographs. I've created several new sets on flicker for each of the places I took images at. Please visit www.flickr.com/photos/steve-orcutt.

Looking for a project

I'm sure you've seen the photo sets where people take an object like a ball, action figure, or something that take photographs with that in the scene some way. Well, I'm curious to do some of those. I'm interested in some suggestions! Going to San Diego in a couple days for about 9 days, and I think it would be fun to include in some of the tons of pictures I plan to take to also to some item shots. Give me some ideas!

Finally home...

MCAS Cherry Point, Havelock, North Carolina - Finally we have returned. It seemed like it took forever to get back, but here we are. Safe, sound, and happy to be back on US soil. At times the journey home seemed to be arduous but it finally culminated in us landing at MCAS Cherry Point. There was no grandiose cheer or anything of the sort buy the returning warriors, but rather a sighing breath of relief. Everyone was glad to be back.

JPG Magazine

So I entered a contest, well not really a contest but a challenge to have a picture published in a magazine that I found, JPG Magazine. I have entered two photographs, both from the night range a couple weeks ago.
I would be greatly appreciative of anyone who would go to the site and vote for each of the two photos. Here are the links:

Happy New Years!

Well it's the new year, and we have much less than 30 days remaining here in Camp Fallujah. Then, time to take pictures back in the good 'ol USA! Yeah!

Here in Camp Fallujah we celebrated the new year when the artillery fired off a few illumination (illum) rounds and a controlled blast. Don't know if arty fired intentionally or just a coincidence - we all think it was planned; but the controlled blast was planned, or so we were told.

We also had a promotion, Sgt Brogdon is now SSgt Brogdon. He was happy, very long awaited, and deserved.

See ya'll soon!
