Hard Drive Update: ECO Fail
My external hard drive failed and I lost about 5 years of pictures.
After looking at several companies, I decided to go with the least expensive, ECO Data Recovery and after 2 weeks they called today to tell me they were unable to recovery my data. They’ll be charging me $175 for the effort.
So I called […]

President Obama
I am disappointed. I voted for Bob Barr, but realistically wanted McCain to win. Not to be.
However, this is the positive side of an Obama presidency:
He has the ability to emotionally charge the masses
He may be a more favorable and likable president to foreign countries
Liberals and democrats have no excuses to make things work–they have […]

Home Pharmacy
It’s election day and I’m sick, literally. Upper respiratory infection, blah.
I don’t feel like writing much so I’ll just share a quick life tip:
When u visit your doc, ask him to write you a script for extra meds. I like to stockpile Allegra-D and antibiotics (z-pack is best!)
Sure popping pills isn’t always smart, but if […]

The true meaning of Halloween
Today is Friday. Today is Halloween. I’m lightening the mood of my blog.
Although you’ll see no badass costume out of me this year (last year’s Vanilla Ice), you will see my efforts towards making Halloween a memorable experience for all the kiddos in my neighborhood.
IMO Halloween is all about the experience, and mostly, all about […]

Racism and the White House
According to Gallup Polls,White voters are split on Obama v McCain, 44% to 50% respectively.
Black voters however, favor Obama over McCain 91% to 4%.
With 38 million blacks in the US, accounting for almost 13% of our population, and Obama’s lead at just 9%, is it possible that racism will choose our next president?
Keys to remember:
Racism […]

Civil Disobedience Coming?
Obama scares the crap out of me. He seems to be totally in favor of socialistic economic policy, and today’s Drudge Report release of Obama’s 2001 radio interview solidifies that belief.
For the record, if Obama is elected, and has support from Congress and is able to significantly alter our economy to favor socialism, I will […]

Hard drive recovery update
As you know, my external hard drive failed recently—with all the digital pictures I’ve ever taken on it, and tons of video and lots of other documents.
I’ve decided to go with ECO Data Recovery.
I talked to people from them, Data Recovery Corp, and Drive Savers. Although I felt like Drive Savers had the best chance […]

Advice from dad ignored
Dad always told me “Take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves.”
This is fantastic advice. It always works, unless you forget to take it, like I did today/last night.
Last night I decided that today I would bike to and from work. I plugged in both addresses to google maps […]

Checking up on my friends’ politics haha
Today I checked on my voting location at https://cdcbp.ky.gov/VICWeb/VIC and quickly discovered that I could check up on my friends’ political party if I knew their birthdate haha.
So far I’ve only had one surprise–one of my previous best friends is a registered democrat.
Find your state’s website, check up on your friends! Its fun!

Back up your data!
I thought I was…
I store all my digital pictures on an Acomdata external hard drive. The reason I do this is because I’ve had the same home desktop computer for about 6 years, but I’ve had to ‘nuke’ it 3 or 4 times to get it back to pristine condition.
Well today I was going to […]
