I was hot on the trail of an iPad

I thought this weekend might be my turn to get an iPad. I tried my luck at BestBuy (whom I’m still a little pissed off with due to the iPod fiasco) and was actually quite encouraged when I walked in and saw a guy holding an iPad box. However, my hopes were dashed when I found out they didn’t actually have any in stock. Not sure what that guy was carrying but it wasn’t the 64GB WiFi model that I wanted. Apparently BestBuy had about 3 or 4 units in the morning and sold out of them almost immediately. I was so close, yet so far. But maybe I should be holding off.

8TB and counting

I’ve run out of hard drive space … again… Well, I haven’t completely run out, but I’m getting close. Between the pictures, the apps, the ISO images and all the TV episodes (since I’m using it as a media center) the bytes are just disappearing. Not sure how long it will last but I grabbed a 2TB Seagate Free Agent drive and put that into service. I’m shying away from Western Digital right now. I’ve had a run of bad lunch and I’m not sure I trust those drives anymore. I have to say, the Free Agent drive is about the ugliest damn thing I’ve ever plugged into a computer. It’s got weird angles and slopes and that light pattern on the front is just damn stupid looking. But I didn’t buy it for its good looks. I think with this new drive it might be time to clean house. I’m going to need to catalog what I have and […]
