Backup Your Memories!

March 22, 2009

This morning I was snooping around the house and found my father’s old superzoom point and shoot film camera:

Memories of my gradeschool field trips, visits from out-of-town relatives, family parties, and holidays at home started rushing back, and thanks to him it was all preserved on film. Then, I started snooping through old photo albums and found class pictures along with some of my homework from grade school. I didn’t know I was in the 3rd grade with one of my best friends, Dave Choi. I wish I had a working scanner because his class picture is hilarious.

My 400GB WD MyBook Pro (that I got ridiculously cheap before my Sophomore year) died on me. WTF? I just lost 40GB of music, 4 years worth of catalog’ed photos (at their highest quality, at least), and a handfull of TV shows and movies.

Sad times…

In other news, I am now looking to buy a desktop computer. This time I’ll be sure to buy an extra hard drive to back everything up on. Learn from my mistakes, kids. Even though those 0′s and 1′s may seem insignificant now… BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA!
