Pencils From Old Printouts

Read Morefēnix™ Outdoor GPS Watch from Garmin

Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock – One Port One Dock Lots of Sockets
The Thunderbolt port that Apple has built into the latest iterations of its desktop and laptop range has endured a long wait for useful peripherals that can leverage the incredible bandwidth it’s capable of. Belkin are on the case however, with their Thunderbolt Express Dock which was previewed at CES2012. The idea is that you have just two leads plugged into your Mac – power and Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt cable goes to this dock which offers gigabit Ethernet, three USB 2.0 ports, one Firewire 800 port, one HDMI port, one 3.5mm Audio port and two Thunderbolt ports (one upstream and one downstream) for daisy-chaining to another Thunderbolt compatible device. Nice.

Scanbox – Perfect Accessory for your Camera Scanner App
Camera scanner apps for smartphones are awesome. They enable you to use the camera on your smartphone to scan documents into memory for later retrieval. You can use them for anything from business cards to restaurant menus. The problem is that the software depends a lot on your ability to hold the phone straight and steady. If you haven’t got very strong arms, then Scanbox, a KickStarter project, may be what you’re looking for. It’s a neat box that positions your phone exactly the right distance from the document you want to scan.

TriggerTrap Mobile – Use Your iPhone to Control Your DSLR for Awesome Time Lapses and Triggered Photos
The speed with which technology progresses never ceases to amaze me – even more so the convergence of that technology, where one kind of tech crosses over into another. And that’s precisely what TriggerTrap is about – it leverages the power of your iPhone to bring innovative new forms of photography to the table. Even better it’s very modestly priced at about $20 for the cable/dongle for the iPhone and $10 for the accompanying iOS app.
Amongst the features that TriggerTrap makes possible are timelapses (including both eased and HDR timelapses), sound activated exposures, shock and vibration exposure, metal and magnetism proximity sensors, facial recognition and motion detection. It also includes a cable release mode for standard long exposure shots and a star trail mode to make those trendy night-sky photos that are all the rage now.
We’ll be reviewing TriggerTrap Mobile soon.
