With todays ever smaller flash drives I kept feeling I should have one in my wallet. There are a few out there like the Blue Flash
, or Walletex, but their more spendy than regular flash drives, and I got to thinking… Those things would actually be kinda clunky when plugged into my laptop.
My data packing life changed today when I made my own credit card flash drive. Even if your not a photographer you’ll find good use for 2-4 gigs of usb data in your wallet everywhere you go. It’s not only cool, it’s cheap, and you can use just about any old (or stylish new) card to do it with.
Start with a very small USB drive. You can get the 2gb KingMax I used here on Amazon for under 10 bucks. There’s also a 4gig version under 20. These things are great! Their low cost, sturdy, and tiny.

Apple has released it’s second version of Aperture which sells for $199. Previous version owners can also upgrade to the new version for $99. If you’ve purchased Aperture 1.5 after January 1st of this year, the upgrade will cost you just $9.95 Aperture 2 page on Apple’s online store. Go here check out all of the over 100 new features.
It is yet to be determined for sure whether Apple “GOT IT” or not with this round of the product and included basics like develop presets. If they did this could be real competition for Lightroom which will be great. If not it’s basically just a new box that will get them nowhere with most pro’s. From what we can tell we see nothing the indicates any kind of image preset however. Wake up Apple!
