I’ve added an RSS 2.0 feed to domipix.com so if you’re into the Photo A Day thang you can keep up with the additions as they come in.
And the award for most frustrating web build goes to…
Mark Maher American Polaroids. Jesus Christ! What a mess! Just show me the freakin’ photos, for F’s sake!

Rollei Prego
Is it just me, or is “Prego” an odd choice of name for a super-slim camera?

Just realised it’s been ages since I put a photo on my blog… so here you go.
And it doesn't even *sound* good!
Not that I’m setting out to deliberately bash the iPod Photo, but… it *buzzes*.
iPod Photo: what a let-down
What’s the point? I was kinda sorta thinking about the possibility of an iPod Photo before they came out. I don’t know why – I’m not a big Apple fan or anything. But having seen what it can(‘t) do, I have to conclude: naaah… The lack of a CF slot: that’s an important one for me, but I doubt I was very seriously expecting it to be included. But the fact that you have to get photos on there using iTunes? As opposed to just copying them over as a standard mass storage device? Can that be right? And in the same way, if you *do* use an add-on card reader, you can’t view the image files, even if you do happen to shoot JPEG. iTunes uses its own thumbnail format to allow you to view the things on the iPod.
So, what’s the point? It’s only really nice as a normal iPod, but with the addition of a nice colour screen that can show album art. But for photos, it seems it’s just a toy.
Flickr
I just signed up for an account on Flickr [see www.flickr.com/photos/domipix] on which I’ll be putting my PaD (which is also on pbase and my own photo site) amongst other things. Flickr seems like a really nice piece of work. Might be due for an upgrade to a pro account sometime soon…

Sandisk Photo Album
I like the look of this. When I first saw it (and for that matter when I first saw the original version ages back) I thought how cool it would be if you could just plug in a USB hard drive. I didn’t notice at first, but it turns out this version accepts USB flash drives, so there’s a good chance that it’ll work with a spinning version, no? Or am I just hoping? They mention their Cruzer drives, of course. Anyway, I don’t know if there’s any intrinsic technical difference between a USB flash or hard drives, but why would there be? (So many questions in this post…) Here’s hoping.
Also interesting is the second CF slot, which can store reduced-resolution versions of user-selected images specifically for TV viewing. Handy.
