Can you imagine? Three Terabytes of storage on a single CD?

Well, thats what a handful of some of those really smart guys up at Harvard have accomplished. And by the way this article reads, it seems as though this is a very inexpensive and easy thing to manufacture. Which would lead me to believe that we could possibly see devices released in the near future. Wouldn’t that be something? Check out the entire article for all the details.

With this resolution, “you’d be able to pack more than three terabytes [about 3,000 gigabytes] worth of data onto something the size of a CD,” Crozier estimates. That’s enough to hold more than 300 feature-length movies. By comparison, a dual-layer HD-DVD or Blu-ray disc can hold 30 gigabytes or 50 gigabytes, respectively.

Well, as you can see, I've made a small update to the site.  I was just getting really tired of looking at that old header image.  So, I made a new one.  (Come on Bryan, I know you have something to say, haha). Its somewhat reminiscent of the old Aha video for 'Take On Me' don't you think?  I think so.

Other than that, the Holidays are finally over and it is now time to head back to work after having 10 full days off.  Which was great, but, it could always be better right?  I could have been laying on a beach that whole ten days back down on the Mayan Riviera.  Even still though, I am quite thankful to have had off the time I did.  Spent some time with family that I don't see often enough.  Squeezed in a small trip to NYC to see Dave Attell.  Spent too much money on too much chocolate at the Hershey's store on Times Square.  It was a all lot of fun though. 

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and a fun New Years celebration.  Good luck in the New Year!

Beware of the crazy man eating super electrician.  This is the first time he has ever been photographed.  Which makes him sorta like big foot.

No, actually, that would be our good buddy Bryan.  Today was his last day of work here on the East coast.  In a couple of short weeks, he'll be parking his man eating ass behind a whole new desk on the left coast.  Lucky chump.  We had a wonderful lunch today giving him a jovial little send off roast.  Sharing silly little tales from the past, opening old and bitter wounds and partaking in all kinds of wonderfully un-politically correct fun.  Much of which revolved around the fact that he enjoys eating people.  Well.  Ok.  I guess that is not actually true.  But, it was a lot of fun pretending for a little while. 

So good luck Bryan!  Enjoy the sun, avoid the fires.  And don't go eating too many people.  At least, not right away.

Well, I suppose its about time I finally break my silence and make a post.  I mean, its only been a few months or so right?  I'd just like to say congratulations to our local state rep, Mr. Don Sherwood.  He has been lucky enough to grace the front page of the Huffingtonpost!  Now, isn't that exciting!  Here is a direct link to the Huffington Post brief with user comments, which by the way, can be quite entertaining.  And here is a link to the full story on Yahoo! News. 

I'd like to start rallying and yell out 'Come on people, lets oust this jackass!'.  But, the polls seem to be showing you all already know and are going to do it.  Which is fantastic to see.

So in the words of a good friend, remember, 'A vote for Sherwood is a vote for the devil'.

Pass it on.

We hit the town last night with some friends for dinner and a moobie.  Got to see Clerks 2 .  If you are at all a Kevin Smith fan, you will not be disappointed.  Randal and Dante haven't missed a beat.  Jay and Silent Bob are back in true Clerks form.  I'm not even really sure what to say.  Tons and tons of dirty, nasty, gutbustingly funny dialog.  And even some quite serious moments getting down to the business of true friendship and hetero love.  Rosario Dawson was absolutely fantastic.  She just looked like she had a blast doing this film.  And the addition of Elias (Trevor Fehrman) was amazing.  I had never seem him in anything before, but his character was a riot.  You can still enjoy this if you haven't seen the first one, but you'll miss the many many throwbacks to the first.  As long as you've seen at least one of Kevin's film (sans Jersey Girl) and enjoyed it, chances are, you'll enjoy this too.  Don't be the only loser in your circle of friends that hasn't seen it.  Go.  Watch.  Now.

Here I am.  Approaching thirty.  And I'm seeing just how truly important experience is.  In relation to "education" I suppose.  Education can teach you to question everything.  It can teach you to never assume.  But, I think only experience can teach you to ask the truly dumb questions.  Because even though you walk into a situation telling yourself you're going to cover all of your bases.  Even though you tell yourself you're not going to assume anything.  You never think to ask, "How big did you say that is?".  And then you wind up with an eight and a half foot tall monstrosity that is just about the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen.  And you wonder.  Why didn't anyone question this?  I'm thinking it comes back to lack of experience.  Cause I sure as hell hope we're all not just that dumb.  But then again, maybe we are.  I guess we'll just have to see if we learn from our experience.
