1. Solid State Drives: The Intel X25-M is king

    June 24, 2009 by jim

    The only SSD drive that I can recommend at this time, after extensive research, are the X25-M drives from Intel. I have one of them in my MacBook and Mac Pro. They are used for the OS and the applications. I only have the 80GB version, but how I have things set up this works fine for such a small drive. Let me come back to that, but first point you to a few articles. I'm linking to the conclusion pages. You can dig further into them if interested.

  2. Apocalypse 2012?

    June 12, 2009 by jim

    Just in case you needed something else to worry about.

    David Sirota interviews Lawrence E. Joseph about his book Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation Into Civilization's End.

    This week, he came on my radio show and we discussed all the different apocalyptic possibilities, from Yellowstone's overdue super-volcano eruption to the possibility of a meteor collision with the Earth. Couple that stuff with the Mayan prophecy about 2012, and it makes for a disturbing – but truly interesting – topic. Via Nerdivore
