What a week it’s been. One flooded office. One wife in and out of hospital. One office cleared and stuffed into every spare nook around the place to compensate. Carpet destroyed. Carpet ripped up. Office re-painted. Insurance companies screamed at.
Somewhere in the middle of all that, I wrote a bunch of articles across multiple publications. First, at APCMag.com, I wrote about the one thing that could get me really excited about Microsoft Surface:

Hitachi SimpleDrive Mini 320GB: “Hitachi’s portable drive is a serviceable external drive that doesn’t stand out in a market awash with them.”
Hitachi SimpleTough 500GB: “An aptly named external drive; it’s simple and it’s tough.”

Heh, fair enough. Though if that video were a game, it might be banned from Australia due to our lack of R rating.
