The faster I could find, the Sandisk Extreme Firewire Compact Flash Card Reader. Product specs indicate it’s meant to copy at 40MB/s, run via Firewire, and requires an Extreme IV card to make… Continue reading Sandisk Extreme Firewire Compact Flash Card Reader – Faulty

Summer Glau in the Sarah Connor Chronicles

OMG, yes! Summer Glau, who played the kick ass River Tam in Firefly and Serenity is again kick ass, only this time in the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I just saw the series premiere and it looks awesome. http://www.terminatorfiles.com/news/2007/2007-02-09-b.htm
