Pamparo in Toronto

For the longest time, I’ve been relying on my old IDE drives that were just lying around. I can’t tell you how many times those drives saved my neck. However, for the past 2-3 months, I’ve been without a benefit of a backup because one by one, my trusted external IDE drives just ceased to work. The worst part is, I should know better. I work in the backup/recovery & storage infrastructure for a financial company. So I know the importance of being able to recover lost data. Finally, I came to my senses and bought my very first redundant backup disks for home.

I am using this in conjunction with Time Machine. For now I have a little piece of mind in knowing that I have a copy of my precious pictures, music & documents in 3 different disks at all times!

Today, we say goodbye to the early innovator of electric guitar. He died at age 94.

I don’t really listen to Les Paul’s music but I did saw him play live in what was his regular gig in New York 2 years ago. It was a magical moment for me sitting there and watching this old guy still enjoy playing his signature “Gibson Les Paul” guitar.

Les Paul, you will not be forgotten!
