ioSafe Solo 1.5TB External Hard Drive Deal–$219 at RadioShack

Posted on by

I’ve talked about the ioSafe Solo many times at the HomeServerShow.com podcast.  The ioSafe Solo is a external enclosure that is both fire and water proof.  Pretty handy if you want to protect your data from a fire or flood in your home.  I don’t know about you, but a good majority of my computer equipment is in the basement and near the floor.  Since I live on a hill, I’m not too worried about flooding.  But, if the house caught fire, between the heat of the fire and the water it would take to put it out, I would

It Was A Wild Summer of Running (Part 3) – M2M Relay

Posted on by

October 3, 2010 – If I have one thing to say about the weather in Nebraska, it’s generally crappy.  However, every race that I participated in this summer / fall sported excellent conditions.  Race for the Cure was no different.  A beautiful Sunday morning with 15,000 people, all dressed in pink, all out to support the fight against breast cancer.  With it just being a 5K and just coming off of 26 miles the week before, the run seemed very short.  I ran at a 10 minute pace, finishing the race in just under 30 minutes.  A good day of

September 26, 2010 – There couldn’t have been a more perfect morning for a marathon.  It was just short of 50 degrees at the start of race and almost no wind.  After a long summer of 5 AM runs with warm and humid conditions, it felt great!  This was going to be a good day of running. The Omaha Marathon starts down at Rick’s Boatyard, just a quarter mile or so from the Gallup parking lot.  I arrived at Gallup by 5:45 am and beat most of the crowd and hunkered down in the Fitness center for the next 30

It Was a Wild Summer (and Fall) of Running (Part 1)

Posted on by

JUNE – Wow.  It’s been a busy summer of running, both in races and lots of long distance training.  It was a summer of some of the hottest conditions I have ever run in and it was a summer that included running across Nebraska (well, part of it), running across Grand Island and running not only across Omaha, but all the way from Omaha to Lincoln.  Thought I would spend a few minutes recapping  the major events and races of the summer of 2010 and get my times documented for future reference.  Here we go! The summer really started on

Can 240 Million People Be Wrong? Windows 7 One Year Later!

Posted on by

It been one year since the October 21, 2009 launch of Windows 7.  This also means that it was one year ago that I was hosting the most nerdy party in the world by hosting a Windows 7 Launch Party!  Oh what fun we had! Needless to say, Windows 7 has been the most successful OS for Microsoft since Windows 95.  It’s fast, lean and just works. If you are still on Windows XP and you have been waiting to purchase that new PC with a better OS, that wait should be over.  Put it on your Christmas list…buy it
