On my way home last night, I was in the best mood. I think I smiled either on the outside or the inside the whole time. Sadly, it was for the most geeky reason.
Under my arm was tucked a box from Newegg.com that contained my first 1 terabyte hard drive.
I was giddy because my new tech purchase that would double my current storage space. There’s also a sentimental reason for my happiness: I could alleviate my worries of losing all of our photo and video memories if our one external …

It’s a typical, relaxing Friday night for the Cool Fam. Much to your surprise, I’ll admit that we don’t:

I would love to write/blog for a living, so I need to learn how to write faster. I imposed a 1-hour deadline on myself for the post. I was finally happy with the result at 4:20 AM, an hour late.
I tell myself it’s OK, because I like the post, and …
