Sterling Zumbrunn and I are excited to launch Noodletron, a new technology website dedicated to discussions about technology, digital workflow, social media, and photography.

Our first big article is a review of Apple’s iPad 2, a device that still has people lining up at Apple stores nearly three weeks after its release date. Sterling has tried more iOS apps than anyone else I know, and his thoughts about iPad and iOS are always worth reading.

We could use some help spreading the word about Noodletron and the iPad 2 review! If you like the review, please share it with your friends. :)

I was happy to receive this email today from Sonic.net (my ADSL provider). I love their service: I’m getting 30Mbps down and 2Mbps up, and their current plan (which I’m going to switch to) offers 40Mbps down for less than $70/month. I don’t abuse my bandwidth, but it’s good to know that I have no caps.

With news about AT&T’s announcement last week that they will be imposing usage caps on their ADSL and U-Verse VDSL customers, we have received a lot of inquiries about whether or not this will affect Sonic.net customers, and whether we plan to follow the lead of Comcast and AT&T. We are also being asked why AT&T is imposing caps, and about their $10 per 50GB overage charges.

Here’s the bottom line: Sonic.net has no plans to impose usage caps on our customers. For more details and discussion of this topic, please click to read the article on our site, Drilling Through the Caps.

Thank you for very much your ongoing patronage, and for spreading the word about Sonic.net — uncapped, unlimited, and the best customer service around!

Sincerely,
Dane Jasper
CEO & Co-Founder

• @marjoaho I think his point is a little more complicated than you're making it out to be. #
• @marjoaho I was just saying that the story always changes when you zoom in and look at a few people (instead of big picture). #
• @marjoaho You're pointing out a micro-effect and using an emotional argument. #
• @marjoaho the point, for me, is that it is easy to complain and not come up with viable alternatives #
• @marjoaho the current methods for acquiring materials and generating energy are also terrible. #
• @marjoaho Yes, I agree. But it is also easy to take a polar stand when you are directly affected. #
• @marjoaho If you consider "emotion" for one, you must consider for others. http://ow.ly/4kOou #
• @marjoaho I'm done here. Twitter is hardly the medium for a debate. #

• Tried @color. It pushed my user photo immediately (didn't expect that). Don't think it's as bad as reviewers say, but the Ux isn't great. #
• @daveclarkpdx Thanks, Dave! That looks like the right ID. You are the winner. :) #

• Just arrived back in SF, and am now preparing for a photo talk at Head-Royce school in Oakland tomorrow morning. #

I have become dependent on DropBox as my cloud solution for working files (with versioned backups!), and for cloud syncing support in many of the apps I use. I’m also an Eye-Fi user, and really like the idea of having a camera that automatically dumps images into a folder in DropBox. I asked Eye-Fi for this feature, but they told me that it’s up to DropBox to integrate with Eye-Fi—not the other way around.

Eye-Fi did, however, recommend that I give Pixelpipe a try. I successfully configured Pixelpipe so that I could automatically transfer all JPG images on my Eye-Fi card to a folder in DropBox, but I want everything to be transfered, including RAW files and videos.

My current solution is to use Eye-Fi Center on a Mac Mini that is (already) running all the time in a closet at home. That Mac Mini has a temporary DropBox account running on it, and Eye-Fi dumps images into a shared DropBox folder there. Once it arrives on my Mac Mini, DropBox pushes it into the cloud, and images and videos are then accessible on all of my machines and mobile devices.

This method is totally wasteful, but it works! I hope someone comes up with a better solution in the long run.

I’m also looking for an iOS camera replacement that shoots directly to DropBox. At the moment, I use the DropBox app to push individual images, which is inconvenient.

A mother humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) stays close to her young calf to be prepared to help it breathe at the surface. Vava’u, Tonga. 060728_154530_echeng5002

I never processed and shared this set of images because I had so many to go through, at the time. Looking back through my archive is making me realize that I have quite a few interesting images that no one has else has seen…

I have the cover image on this month’s Dive Magazine (March 2011 issue), which features whale sharks, manta rays, tiger sharks, and humpback whales.

The image features a friendly, 13-meter-long whale shark near Darwin’s Arch in the Galapagos Islands. We surfaced from a dive to find the gigantic fish rubbing her back against our small dive skiff. She then proceeded to swim directly at the divers in our group—one after another—and even made contact with our dive guide, who was unable to get out of the way quickly enough!
