1.5 TB Drives for $120

At Tiger Direct.  Disk is down to 8 cents per GB now. Who would have believed it a few years ago?  Can’t promise the link will last long, but I’m amazed at the continuous drop in price along with the corresponding increase in capacity.  Just a year ago I was raving about purchasing 1 TB drives for $250 and now capacity has increased by 50% and prices have dropped by half.  Glad I still have one open bay in my Windows Home Server.

Las Vegas Motorcycle Trip

Now there’s a couple of happy motorcycle dudes.  Here’s a photo from a 3 day Las Vegas ride I did with my dad.  We rode a total of 800 miles, covering 3 states, including a long stretch on the Mother Road, Route 66.

Pull-Ups – Get Some And Then Get Some More

Get some, and then get some more.  Just put in the Studbar Pullup Bar and have been working on my pullups.  Yup, I continue to be a fitness geek.  This bar is awesome.  The rafters in my garage are 2x4s so I may sister them up just to make me feel a little better about not pulling down the roof when I’m using it, but it generally feels pretty solid.  The crossbar itself has a little flex to it, which is also good. 

Of course, we all gave it a try — and have the sore hands to prove it.
