New SanDisk ImageMate card readers look great and read/write faster
February 25, 2009 @ 12:25 am
SanDisk just unveiled two of the most beautiful card readers I’ve ever seen. They look like architectural monuments, perched on those 3 legs. I can see these looking quite lovely on a solid wood work table. And apparently SanDisk didn’t skimp out on the specs either, as each one is said to be able to read at 30 megabytes per second and write at 27 megabytes per second (of course, to get the full speed, you’ll need a fast card too).
The one pictured on the left is the all-in-one reader capable of taking every memory card format available ($30) and the one on the right is the more compact multi-card version capable of reading xD, Memory Stick, SD, SDHC, and MMC ($20).
These are making me want to upgrade my dinky USB 2.0 reader.
Shiloh Pepin: The girl born as a mermaid
February 19, 2009 @ 3:19 pm
Firecracker Films has this fascinating feature on Shiloh Pepin of Portland, Maine who lives with one of the rarest conditions known to human kind. Referred to commonly as “the mermaid syndrome”, Shiloh suffers from what is known as Sirenomelia, a condition that essentially leaves her with both of her legs fused together.
Shiloh Pepin is 1 of only about 8 cases in all of history to have lived with the disease. She is now 9 years old (as of August 2008) and on the verge of a major decision in her life — to separate her legs or to leave them as is. Shiloh and her dad reportedly want to keep her legs as one while her mother wants them separated.
When Shiloh was born she had no rectum, no uterus, no genitalia, no bladder, 6 inches of large colon, and only a quarter of her kidney. Her doctor, Dr. Matt Hand, believes that if she is to survive into adulthood, she needs the surgery to separate her lower limbs.
Watch the snippet of the documentary below from Firecracker Films and fall in love with the girl who seems to defy all odds set against her to live a happy and normal life.

Spider dog

Speaking of spiders, check out this awesome video of a dog wearing a spider costume. The legs actually look like they’re moving on the ground! I wish they made this thing for bigger dogs because I’d love to put this on Joey to see what sort of reaction he will cause on the street.
