Overall temperatures are dropping here in New Jersey despite the presence of sunlight. I can see overwhelming evidence of winter’s impending arrival when I’m on the road and can see ice on the small creeks and ponds.
I think I’m more or less finished with holiday decorations. I have to do things a little differently this year because of the legal paperwork I’m sorting through so it means the nutcrackers I featured last year will have to be set somewhere else. But, given all of that, I’m confident Mom will still enjoy the arrangement of the place when she comes to visit for Christmas.
I recently bought a new solid state drive for my computer storage. I don’t know if I was driven by my harrowing experience last week but I figured this would be one of many pragmatic steps to avoiding a repeat scenario. What’s really notable about this purchase though is that this unit is 2 Terabytes. Yes….terabytes. Now, this isn’t for my photography or videography stuff as that, understandably, carries the need for massive capacity units. But this is for my entire digital history in terms of records, documents, tax filings, etc.
While it will take me a little while to fill up the entire 2 Terabyes with information (I am currently migrating a little over 1 Terabyte into it), I’m just amazed that we have arrived at a time in history where our digital footprint is now within the realm of terabytes.
There was a time in my young life where I was supremely confident that a 30GB (gigabyte) little SD Card was all I needed to archive my life and I would chuckle at the thought of people buying 100GB capacity. Technology marches onward relentlessly. But at least, if the unthinkable happens again, I won’t be singing a sad song like this guy lol
