Cut me some slack, internet!

I’m trying to find the perfect replacement for my Creative Nomad. I need it to be 60-100gb, play music and pull images off of a Camera regardless of format (I’m shooting all Canon RAW v.2 currently). I don’t care if it can view them on screen, I just need to be able to dump them from my memory card when I fill it up. My mp3’s take up 40-50gb of space, and I can easilly shoot 3gb worth of photos in a day. I also intend to keep the photos on there (at least a semester’s worth at at time which could ammount to 1000+ photos at 5mb a piece) and I need the device to connect to a PC as an external/portable hard drive, not some goofy proprietary device. I also need it to be less that $450.

If you know of such a device, please let me know. If you own such a device, please let me know and let me play with it and see if I like it.

So far I’ve looked at the Archos AV400 series devices (which retail for $700, but I’ve been trolling eBay); the Archos AV300 series; the Epson P-2000; the RCA Lyra 2780; the iRiver H300; the X’S-Drive Super VP6210; and so many more, I think my eyes are bleeding. If you have any experience with anything that comes close to fitting my needs, please drop a comment or email. I’m going crazy here.

Fuck Genres, we need TAGS.

So I’m trying to classify all my music in iTunes and I’ve decided that Genres are old news and really we need Tags, they’re so much more adaptable and easy to adapt to different tunes, styles, multi genre artists, etc. So many things are “Rock” but they totally don’t go together in the same Genre. Apple needs to get their act together.

Well son of a bitch, my photos on buzznet are now smaller. I don’t know if its a buzznet thing, a sprint merging with nextel thing, or just some random electron burst, but the last two photos I posted from my phone are considerably smaller than all the other photos I’ve ever posted.

man, you get used to a certain quality of life, and then things just get crappy.
