Asymptomatic

I've had a regular Eye Fi card for a while, but I recently ordered an upgrade to the Eye Fi Explore, which is so far a pretty interesting experience.

The Eye Fi card is a simple little device. It looks and behaves mostly like a regular 2GB SD memory card, but if you go through an initialization process, the card has a single special feature that regular SD cards don't: It will upload your photos to your computer via your home wireless network.

It's a simple little thing, but it makes getting photos to your computer much less tedious than having to remove the card from the camera or hook your camera to the computer. You just leave your camera on and it transmits the photos to your PC -- Easy as pie. The software even lets you configure multiple photo sites to which it will upload your photos after they've been transferred. The upgraded Explore version of the card offers two additional features that are well worth paying the premium price. ...

I don't think it was necessarily the "sky is falling" event that I worried about, but I still really dislike having to sign in as "ringmasterow" (Yahoo ID) rather than "ringmaster" (Flickr ID), almost as much as having to use "/asy" instead of "/ringmaster" as my Flickr URL because Flickr attributes no value to their usernames at all. Grr....
