This is a USB sound card.  It seems brandless, but it works.

If you have a sound card problem with your existing computer for example, you have a faulty onboard sound device or you have a notebook which replaces the internal sound card is not possible, this type of USB sound card is the easiest solution.

The PnP written on this device (in light blue) means it is Plug and Play.  Just insert it into USB port of a PC, under Windows 2k/xp and above, it will be detected and configured automatically.

Next connect mic or headphone or speaker to it.  The soundless computer is alive again.

The quality of the sound might not be the best among different brands, but I like its design.  The semi-transparent made the internal components visible.

[This is not an advertorial, I just want to let you know that there is always solutions when any part of your computer is not working properly.]

I was testing to shoot photo of the light from my torchlight and found that the label on my lense was shown in the torchlight.

Can you see 5.0-100 mm 1:28-5.7 USM?  There are actually smaller word in the photo, “CANON ZOOM LENS 20X IS”, but it can hardly be seen (too small).

Last night I chatted through facebook with a friend who have the same series of camera as mine, we share experience and I found that I have not written a review of my 8-months old camera.  Should I write it?  May be the photos that I have taken previously are all the reviews.

There are different types of reviews such as technical review etc., let me call mine, result-oriented review.  Read my posts from March 2009 onward for the reviews, because most of the photos from that day on are taken with my new camera.

Happy Sunday.
