New Gadget No. 2: Garmin Etrex GPS Receiver
The second techno gadget I spent money on these days is my new Garmin Etrex GPS-receiver that arrived here today.
Apart from giving me a chance of always knowing where my towel is 
- I haven´t yet found something on flagging down saucers in the manual, though - I became convinced of definitely needing to have such a thing by this Makezine article on geotagging your digital photos (another tutorial on a more automated approach to geotagging the exif-files of your snaps is here) . Flickr has a special “Geotagged” group and pool .
If you needed any further proof of my being a freaky geek this is it, I know. Anyway the idea of geotagging photos and what you can eventually do with this information did appeal to me - and the thing was not too expensive (although I would not like my mother to know that I bought it).
Bug: can´t geotag my bed as the thing works only outside the house where satellites´ signals can be received. Hmmm. Having to go outside more often…
Hint as for Gadget No. 3: the photo above was taken without the use of a flash at ISO 1600. Guess? (For I am not sure I am going / daring to tell …)
