Come Fly With Me

If you want to know why I always book a window seat when traveling, look no further than this awesome photo, “38,000 ft” from Mack Robison, our Photobird Photo of the Hour. At that elevation, Mack has captured some intriguing cloud formations, tufts of pink cotton candy in billowy profile above the caramel-hued horizon.

I happen to like my TAO 1.5-inch digital keychain frame, now available at 60% off, even though the reviews on Amazon are mixed at best. The keychain features a tiny LCD screen and can store up to 31 photos. It’s easy enough to load and update your photo selections on either a Mac or a PC using TAO’s proprietary software and a USB cable. One downside is the battery, which only carries about 2 ½ hours of “on” time. And, let’s face it, these photos aren’t going to win any awards for clarity when viewed on a 1 ½ inch LCD screen — reduced to 128 x 128-pixel 24-bit color JPEG images — but that’s hardly the point.

As long as you have the right expectations, this can be a fun way to view some mementos of your loved ones, or relive your latest vacation while waiting in that long line at the DMV.
