Lacie Hard Disk Max

In my brain, there's an IWO compartment. This acronym stands for "I Want One", and here is a product destined to get filed in the recesses of this ever-expanding IWO compartment, to be retrieved when budgetary constraints are lifted or eased.

LaCie announced its Hard Disk MAX high capacity storage system for users who want advanced RAID features and consumer-level ease of use and style. The Hard Disk MAX retails for $270 and delivers 2 TB of storage capacity. It includes two large-capacity disk drives that can be set in either a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration with the simple flick of a switch on the back panel.

The Hard Disk Max includes the LaCie Setup Assistant for formatting of the disk drives, and it ships with Intego Backup Assistant for Mac (and Genie Backup Assistant for PC).

Burn Magazine

burn was launched as an online magazine/journal on December 21, 2008 by the legendary David Alan Harvey and a team of emerging photographers. Its intent is to provide a platform for such photographers both online and in print.

In my view (and in the view of many), David Alan Harvey is a role model for all established photographers...he gives, he teaches and he mentors...he relates to younger photographers who benefit from his experience, from his expertise and his knowledge. If there's such a thing as a Nobel prize for photography, David Alan Harvey would be on my short list of candidates.

I encourage you to bookmark burn, to visit it often and see some remarkable talented work from emerging photographers, and to join its community and submit your work.
