Backing my stuff up

Sunday, March 23.  Spring is coming.  While it did dump on us the other day, the last two days have ended up warmer than forecasted and it just feels like warmer days are coming soon.  That'll mean more lessons and a healthier bottom line and that's good.  This next week coming up will be my busiest so far this year with teaching not to mention getting things in order for my trip and making a quick trip to Chicago to run my race.  Whew, lots of stuff going on.  But it's fun and invigorating!

Today's new thing is pretty mundane, but absolutely necessary and a long time coming.  Back a few weeks ago I told you all I bought an external hard drive.  Well today I finally backed up some of my more important documents, ones I just cannot lose, plus all my pictures (all 3500 of them) and all of my songs on iTunes.  Pretty easy process overall.  Took some time to do it all and I'm not quite finished but almost there.  I bought the western digital Mybook hard drive.  Very cool and elegant.  Goes nicely with all of my Apple gear.

An update on the fedora company.  The name will be "gabaan" and what I'm thinking currently is a simple font style or just a handwritten name to go on tags, labels, etc.  I'm sketching some of the hand drawn stuff and it looks pretty good.  Rick is gonna give me some effort doodling and maybe something cool will come out of that too.  The "g" part of the name may end up being the logo, but I may keep it simple and not have a logo at all.  We'll see, but it's coming together.

Off to do a few more pre-bedtime things and then off to sleep.  I'm gonna get an early start tomorrow, so gotta get some sleep.  Love and peace to all of you.  Have a great day!  Later
