Need a New External Hard Drive?

by zack on October 7, 2007

Well I’ve been needing a new external hard drive myself for a while now and after considerable research and deliberation, I selected one that did the trick. This drive is by Fantom and the reviews are consistently very good. The company also appears to be very responsive to faulty, or defective products.

This particular drive is about $15 more than it’s USB 2.0 brother, but I absolutely wanted the Firewire option for doing video work and high speed transfers, so it’s worth it by far. It has BOTH USB 2.0 and Firewire 1394a (400) interfaces.

The drive is very quiet and cool with the only complaint from a very tiny minority of folks being the bright, blue LED light on the front, but frankly, that’s a non-issue for me. If it’s in your bedroom facing your pillow, well then you may have a problem, but now c’mon, are you serious? It’s next to your pillow . . . ?

Check it out and please comment back if you decide to get it and have any thoughts about it . . .

May your tech forays be fruitful!

OK, This Book is Working for Me . . .

by zack on April 19, 2007

I’ve been going through it. I’m planning on doing the entire 16 hour transformation about 10 days from today and I can’t wait.
There are some podcasts that really make it even easier to wrap your head around how this works and what you can expect—also hints and examples. Merlin Mann’s 43 Folders also covers Getting Things Done and just about anything else you might want to know about organizing and productivity.

I’m really looking forward to a huge change in the way my life works by using this.

If you find yourself frustrated by the overwhelming list of stuff you have to and want to do, you should definitely give this book a thorough review.
