Take Your Library With You - Cell Phone Photo of the Day

A young woman tries out Sony's electronic reader at CES2008

Amazon.com has made a buzz over the past few months with its Kindle electronic reading device. With the Kindle, you can download books, magazines, and other reading material and take it with you.

Another, similar device is made by Sony, and they had several of their latest models on display in Las Vegas at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. In the photo above, a young woman was giving the device a tryout. This little wonder is very thin, and can hold large volumes of information.

While this type of device is making strides toward the mainstream, at this point I'll stick with the older technology, called a book, at least for the foreseeable future.

Red Light Cams - Cell Phone Photo of the Day

The red light camera installation at Yosemite & Arapahoe

As I have noted before, there is a lot to like about my Motorola Q cell phone, from its ability to pull down my work and personal email, schedules, and surf the web. Of course it can make and receive phone calls too. The one feature that is a bit on the weak side is the camera. Still, since it is always in my pocket, why not feature some more of the daily sights I encounter taken with the Q?

Today's photo is a bit of a roadgeek shot. This was taken looking west down Arapahoe Road while waiting to turn onto it from northbound Yosemite in Centennial, Colorado. Cameras to automatically cite people who run through red lights are becoming more common all over the country, and the Denver metro area is no exception. There was an identical installation diagonally across the intersection. Here we can see not only two of the cameras, but also between the traffic lights is a strobe that illuminates license plates for the cameras when they snap a photo of a traffic offender.

In the distance are the Rocky Mountains and a sky full of interesting clouds.
