I just got my new Eye-Fi SD card and I’m just excited to get going with it. I’ll have to admit that it never even crossed my mind to have a card that wirelessly uploads your pics from your camera to your computer, but I’m glad there are people like the folks at Eye-Fi thinking about things like this.

One of the biggest headaches I have is trying to upload all my pics every week. It usually takes me 2 hops; one from the camera to the laptop and another from the laptop to the server. And that’s after having to chase down my card reader and messing with the tiny eject mechanism on my camera. With Eye-Fi I should be able to go directly from my camera to my server.

I’ll be putting it through its paces here in a little while and I’ll let you know what I find. But I’m already encouraged. This is the kind of innovation we need in the rest of the industry.
