Simplicity is best

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

Gizmodo has a little bit on the new DiscHub 2. Version 2 brings minor improvements, none of which are exactly newsworthy. What is newsworthy, at least in my opinion, is the wonderful simplicity of this product. It’s best traits lie in what it is lacking. No bright blue LEDs. No mechanism to shoot a CD or DVD out at you when you push one in slightly. No cumbersome footprint taking up valuable desk space. DiscHub 2 is simply a nicely designed, simple object for holding a few CDs or DVDs that you use frequently.

Sweet HD Camcorder

Preface: I really like gadgets!

Sony is going to release a really cool camcorder, the HDR-HC1. It will record in High-Definition. While there are other cameras available that also record in HD, this one is super small (comparatively).
