This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

News: Start-up brings hard drive to the masses:
"The Cornice drive is essentially a minimalist hard drive that has been shorn of any materials not needed for portable electronics. The drive, for instance, doesn't have its own internal, dedicated pool of memory; instead, it uses the memory shared by the rest of the device to cache data. The SE doesn't have rails, so it can't be removed from the host device; by contrast, the drive is planted on the motherboard, and transfers of files are accomplished through USB (universal serial bus) ports. "


Its the 1.5 GB, 1 inch hard drive that we already see in some MP3 players from RIO. The unit cost per drive stands at $65 each for every 10,000 units. A quick check of my music folder seems to indicate a storage capacity of about 380 songs, give or take a few. That's not bad, two whole cds worth of MP3 audio is very respectible, considering the amount of sorting that needs to be done to organize a mess of songs like that.

The RIO nitrus seems to run about $200 right now, still more than I want to spend. Oh well.
