Today I won a new 8gb micro SD card during a raffle at my office. My digital camera uses normal SD cards, so I sold the micro SD card that I won to a friend of mine. One of the guys won a brand new 16gb Creative Zen. I have a 4gb Creative Zen with a 16gb SDHC card in it and I absolutely love it. I haven’t had any kind of trouble with it and it’s probably my favorite gadget. You can find the 4gb model for under $100. I pretty much keep the internal 4gb memory filled with music that I rip from my CD collection and I fill the 16gb SDHC card with videos and things like that. It comes in really handy if I’m flying somewhere or any other occasion where I don’t have anything to do but sit there. The battery life is about 20 hours or so for music playback and 5 hours or so for video playback. You can’t beat that.
My girlfriend recently got me one of those digital picture frames with the LCD display. It’s the 9 inch model and the display on it is very bright and crystal clear. I never really wanted to spend the money on myself and get a digital picture frame, but now that I see the quality, I wish i would have picked one up a long time ago. Everyone that comes over notices it sitting in our living room. Right now we have the memory stick from our digital camera in it with a bunch of pictures of our last family reunion. My girlfriend really enjoys taking pictures and that sort of thing, so I think she got the digital frame for me, just so that she could use it. Shes kind of clever like that. Anyway, I really enjoy the digital picture frame and I’m actually thinking about buying one for my brother in-law for his birthday.
A friend of mine told me about a network monitoring tool called EndPointSecurity. This endpoint security tool allows you to scan your entire computer network to check and see what devices are connected to all of the computers in the network and who is using them.
It is especially handy to check whether employees are using USB sticks or other portable storage devices at work, and you can actually block access to these devices using this software. It can also display if someone is using an mp3 player, iPod, digital camera and much, much more.
If youre concerned with network security, such as employees copying data from company computers onto portable devices, or youre just trying to monitor who is doing what, this tool has lots of uses.
