Confession: I Don't Backup

InformationWeek: Xdrive Readies Next Phase Of Storage-As-Service Plan

"Beta tests of the backup feature will begin next week, letting customers simply click on "Backup" for either a full or incremental backup of their data. This could be a breakthrough for users who never back up their data."

They could have interviewed me to get that quote. I really don't have a backup plan for my home information and it could be devestating at some point. I've really been thinking about how to get something together, but time is not on my side. I used the first installment of XDrive and it was great. But at $99/month, that price may be just too steep. I just need to buy a second drive and back up to that. Or something else. Hehe.

How Would You Like To Be Sick In Space?

CNN: Medical issue scrubs station spacewalk

"The concern came up during routine medical testing aboard the space station. Spacewalking can be grueling work, and astronauts need to be in top form. Nonetheless, the postponement was a rare move for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration."

Having just had a totally grungy flu, I can't imagine what it would be like to have something like that up in space. Actually, I can't really imagine what it would be like to be in space, so maybe it's not so bad? Yeah, right.

Condolezza, Condolezza, Let Your Hair Hang Down

Coming to a (war) theatre near you. I particularly like Condy's flowing locks and gentle leaning into Dudya's bussom. Other's have thought that Dick's shade of green (sick, oil money, ?) was particularly becoming.
