We’ve got a few Eye-Fi Wireless Photo and Video Memory cards to giveaway from our friends at Photojojo- they find the best photo shiz anywhere. If you’re unfamiliar, the bad ass Eye-Fi SD Memory cards allow you to wirelessly upload photos and video from your camera to your computer, transfer the images from remote locations right to file sharing sites, and geo-tag your images on the spot. We love them.

So, for the giveaway I’ve decided to try a Retweet (RT) contest on Twitter. Tweet the following and I’ll choose a winner randomly next week: RT Contest: I Want an Eye-Fi Video! http://su.pr/16MBDt #joshspear

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what do you think a whole mess of pictures is worth? Well, sparing you the difficulties of applying basic math, we’ll tell you the answer may not be several pages of prose. Your pictures could, however, net you some pretty sweet prizes — that is if you should happen to embark on picturesque adventure from Photojojo, i.e Photo Safaris. These snap-happenings are occuring at locations in both San Francisco and New York over the next several weeks, and will feature displays of photographic fun shot by people just like you. The winners of each “Photo Safari” will receive rewards from Photojojo or their sponsors, which include the venerable folks at Gothamist and Adobe.

We know you’re a regular prodigy on Final Cut and Photoshop. You’ve got all of the shortcuts down from A to Z. The problem with that: all of your friends know you do, too. Thanks to your speed on the Mac, when it comes to answering their queries on complex programs, you’re their go to guy/gal. Unfortunately all of that time fixing their flubs leaves you with little time to work on your own projects. If only there were a way you could share your keyboard knowledge, you might actually get something done it time. Well fret no longer, gifted digital denizen. The forward thinking folks at Photojojo have come up with a solution to your quandary. Their brilliant new keyboard shortcut skins for Mac versions of Aperture, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, and Pro Tools (amongst other programs) allows anyone to become endowed with the digital wisdom you possess. While that doesn’t make your skill set any less special, now you can help your friends in the amount of time it takes to say “figure it out for yourself” or, if you fancy being polite, “please go to photojojo and get a keyboard skin, I’m busy”.

You've come a long way over the past year as evidenced by the fact that you shaved your goatee and stopped using a nightlight. However, we know that sometimes you get nostalgic for the days of yore when your face fuzz was all the rage and soda pop only cost a nickel. If only there were some kind of time machine or time capsule to take you back to that precious time in your life. Well, we might have just thing and while it's no Delorean or time traveling phone booth, it'll certainly allow you to relive your sordid past. Our old friend Amit Gupta and his team at Photojojo has created a photo time capsule. The new feature digs through your Flickr page, selecting the most intriguing selections from a year ago and sends them to you in a weekly email. The application chooses the most worthy images based on views, comments, and favorites, so you won't get any of those artsy nudes of yourself that you've blocked out of your memory. The best thing about the time capsule is that you don't need 1.21 Gigowatts to activate it, just some photos and a Flickr page.

If we hadn’t taken a peek at SpearTalks alum and friend Amit Gupta’s holiday wishlist, we’d have never guessed he was so into gadgety, geeky stuff. Okay, so not really, but here’s what he told us he’s all hot for this holiday season:

I’d really like to spend the holidays hacking together some ideas for emerging hardware and software platforms…

Chumby [ed note: don't we ALL.]
A box full of Bug Labs new hardware
Android emulator plus a real phone that will run it.

And a geeky friend who wants to spend a week over christmas figuring out and building some awesome new apps or services in those environments!

Amit Gupta is an entrepreneur. If you read Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, or any other combination of America’s best publications, your eyes have probably skimmed the same pages that some of Amit’s more popular projects have graced. Photojojo, the friendliest photography* newsletter around, and Jelly, the co-working sessions that help creative types get even more creative, are perhaps the most popular examples of Amit’s endeavors (and definitely the most written about).

Popularity aside, the best thing about Amit’s brand of entrepreneurialism is not how it tends to win fast friends — or even how it seems to win media attention as soon as each new project has a homepage. The best thing about Amit’s entrepreneurialism is that it actually solves problems. While this has always been purpose of the profession, one would find it hard to debate that- more often than not- the “problems” solved by such ventures are ones that people didn’t know they had in the first place, making the motives of said ventures too obviously financial. I'd venture to guess that I stand with thousands of others when I say that Amit does what should be done with a talent for entrepreneurialism: He helps people. Whether it's having fun, making money, or gifting their Facebook friends with a digital form of Chlamydia, Amit's ideas help people do what they like to do better, and that's exactly why we love him.

Who wouldn’t want a Viscoelastic Polymer-based tripod that sticks to anything? The Monster Pod sticks to trees, brick walls, marble, cement, sheet rock, wire fences, metal poles, in the cold, in the heat, upside down, wet or dry– you get the idea. Just screw your camera onto the pivoting tripod mount, and then mold the Monster Pod to the surface of, well, just about anything with your hands. It will hold position for 1-10 minutes depending on the surface. After you have taken your pulitzer winning photo, gently peel off and move to your next locale. The creators of Monster Pod tout it as having ‘alien intelligence;’ I guess the thing does resemble a flying saucer.
