Stretches. Weight training: superslow dumbbell fly, crunch. To work. Facelift project work all day again. Accepted computer from student KL—followup hard drive work. Lunch: two no-meat tacos from Carmelina's. Meeting: WeID card arrangements for summer and fall. Dinner: leftovers (with meat). Late meal: leftover Indian food (with fish but no other meat). It was a bad day for hard drives at home. I determined that our music hard drive failed. I had thought just the miniStack v2 case had failed, but after I removed the drive and tried to mount it in OS X it would not mount at all. Then the same thing happened with my Time Machine hard drive. I still have CrashPlan locally backed up 100% and CrashPlan in the cloud backed up 80%. Researched and bought some new hardware. Decided to start buying Firewire 800 equipment now. It's pricier, but the performance boost over USB 2.0 will make it worthwhile.
