As you know, I am a BzzAgent. In short, I get plenty of cool stuff to try, and give feed back. Often times before it even hits the market!This campaign is all about technology. I la la love it!
So here's the scoop. Kingston Technology has this little bitty device, well its not really all that little bitty- its actually the standard sized USB Flash drive) that is supposed to protect your precious precious (or Data) by password privileges. Coming from a medical background, one of the first things taught in school, aside of getting professional insurance, was keeping and maintaining patient/client/ consumer information. Otherwise it could cost thousands upon thousands... and even your house. YIKES!
As a photographer, especially one who does many really active events on a regular basis, safe record keeping is a must. Contrary to what you may believe, people are not all that gong-ho about having their mug posted all over the place without their permission. In fact, a lot of my clients hardly want their pictures even taken at all... Can you imagine what would happen if I somehow lost my storage device at an event and some random person picked it up? That could be my tush!
That said, I can certainly see quite a few benefits to having this Locker+ flash drive by Kingston Technology. Being password protected, I would at least have some peace knowing the random person cant just take the pics on the flash-drive and go post happy or become an overnight hit with the tabloids with what they found to sell.
A few things I am interested in are:
How easy this thing is to set up.
If, when setting it up, I can use on both Mac and PC, as I can my other thumb drives.
How protected my files are, really?
On appearance alone I give this gadget two thumbs up.
Stay tuned on part two, The Feel.

No Slip Bras, Is It True?
Absolutely it is true.
As a BuzzAgent, I am told about new products that I will on occasion test or try.
I was told about a bra, Barely There No Slip bra, which claimed to have bra straps which did not slip, crawl, or creep.I initially thought it was too good to be true. So I figured I would order one, test it and compare it to my most favorite bras.
When it arrived, my daughter and I both examined it. It felt very soft to touch. The under wire was so concealed that even now, I wonder if it is actually wire or some type of wire substitute. Inside of the straps were this really cook no slip technology they kind of snuck in. To be honest, I was still a little skeptical. So much so, I decided to waited to try it until I could really put it to the ultimate challenge- on stage, dressed up, jumping around, hot and sweating. If it could stand up to this, I knew this thing was real.
Well, the day finally came, I put on the bra. WOW! It was really snug. Felt like a sports bra.Concerned, I ran to the mirror to see if my girls were squashed.( I mean, when working out, or doing daily activities it is okay, but when up on stage in front people, well I rather a bit of boost, perk, and roundness than the flat uni-boob look.) Hot dog! My girls were sitting pretty, perfectly rounded, nothing popping over, or spilling out. Hills and valleys! I loved it.
But like I said, it was a bit snug, I was certain I had a bit of fat back going.I knew I had to take it off, because the blouse I was wearing that day, wasn't very forgiving of any rolls or handles as it was sure to reveal ALL. Quickly, I turned around to see my back, and what do ya know! No Fat Back!
Okay, so far so good. My daughter came in the room and was impressed herself about how it fit. And when I told her of how it felt, she said she wanted one.
Show time. Now for the real test.
I am pleased to announce to you that after an hour of high impact jumping, sweating, and moving around, I was totally impressed with the performance of this wonderful bra. Not once had I had to maneuver my shoulders and arms, or sneak and slide my bra strap up with the hand. When I jumped my girls stayed in place. Just like a sports bra!
At the end of the day, I concluded this bra was totally under rated. It is advertised as being a bra that has straps that doesn't slip but it is so much more. The wire, is totally unnoticeable as well.
I would recommend every woman go out and try this bra. I love it!

Google and Sprint Together?
Really?
When the HTC Hero first came out with Google all over it, I thought it was an android phone by Google that Sprint was promoting. So, being a self proclaimed "Google Head" I changed carriers, switched over to Sprint ( something I swore I would never do again because of bad experiences with bogus billing issues) and decided, I was just going to take it for the team this time. So when I ported my old number and got everything hooked up, I found myself quite disappointed when the first rep told me using Google Voice to make calls, meant I would be using my anytime minutes.
I ended up going through quite a few customer reps from various departments, explaining to them my frustration of having a phone that had "Google" printed on it, it being marketed as a Google platform phone, meaning I should be able to access and utilize all things Google from it without an additional charge, and Sprint - the company who I purchased the phone from and was receiving mobile services from- had absolutely no clue as to what Google Voice was, how it worked, or anything. Finally, the last few reps in the tech dept, escalations, agreed and told me I should not get billed for calls made via GV as it should be viewed as Data since it was on the Google Platform.
Needless to say, that failed, I was still billed. Minutes were taken from my anytime minutes. That sucked.
Then I found out I if I used the older version of the Google Voice application, I could use the 3rd party number it used to dial out as one of my "home numbers" with Sprint (for $5 they allow you to have unlimited calls to and from one land line) to be able to call out and receive calls from my GV on my cell without disturbing my anytime minutes. This worked out great, until I discovered the many features hidden in the Google Application Updates.
Fast forwarding to today, I was excited when I saw the tweet about Sprint and Google. Eager to find out more info, I tweeted both Google and Sprint and got no reply. So I called Sprint to find out more info.
Why was I not surprised when Sprint told me my conversing with them was the first time they heard anything of the sort? Not even the technical department, escalations department could answer any of my questions. That is kind of disturbing.
I suggest now what I suggested then, a while back when the HTC Hero came out and was all the rave, "If Sprint is going to push a product with another company's brand, it may be in the best interest of Sprint to be able to know SOMETHING about the company, the products it offers, the functionality of the product it is selling, and other little details pertaining specifically to the product they are selling. It is called good business."
