Save Often

We asked an open question on Facebook recently to see when the last time people had backed up their hard drive. I was a bit surprised by the number of people who actually had – especially within the last month. Backing up your hard drive may not be something you think about on a regular [...]

Have you ever wondered who uses the most storage? If you haven’t before, you probably are now.  Even better is the relief that I’m not the only nerd who’s thinking this.

Saving Yesterday for Tomorrow

If you’re like me, celebrating a birthday can make you reflective. I celebrated one recently and it got me thinking about how fast time can fly by.  I don’t feel old, but I know I’m not moving as fast as I used to or am as active as I used to be. (Granted, I don’t [...]

Famous Hard Drives of American Presidents

Supersize My DVR, Please!

This recent post I made about midseason television shows sparked some interesting conversations in the office about some of the new DVR solutions that are currently available.
