A Brief Interlude for Comic Geeks

ByMike Moffit

Here at Small Dog, we have our obvious tech geeks. But some of us, and we know who we are, are also scifi/fantasy/comic geeks as well. So, with the impending release of the third X-Men movie , those of us who fondly remember reading the comics when they first came out now have a new resource for our obsessions. GIT 40 Years of Marvel X-Men DVD-Rom is a pretty comprehensive collection, including every page of every issue from X-Men #1, from September 1963 through X-Men #461, August 2005, as well as 18 annuals and special editions.

It certainly brought back memories for me of the first issue I ever read, X-Men #119, as a twelve year old. Now, I can also catch up on all of the issues I missed since I stopped seriously collecting them in the mid 90’s. I can’t wait to curl up with my powerbook, and just have a complete X-Fest!!!

  • Protecting Your Photographs

    Let me ask you a few questions: Do you have a digital camera? How many megapixels does your camera shoot? How many years and how many photos do you have on your computer? Now imagine this… tomorrow morning you wake up and turn your computer on. It boots slower than normal and all you see is a flashing question mark on a gray screen. Your heart drops and you start to think about all of the memories that made up your iPhoto library.

    The purpose of all this is to get you thinking about how many pictures you take every week and what would happen if one day you lost all of them. Could be 10 days or 10 years of photos; either way your losing all of those precious memories. Your best solution is to backup your files. The key to a true backup is to have your files in two places. My suggestion is to purchase a pair of identical external hard drives. Several hard drive units ranging from 250 gigabytes to 2 terabytes are becoming more and more affordable.

    When you’re finished with your photo shoot, birthday party or vacation, store your photos on your computer and then back it up to your external hard drive. It may also be good to store your external hard drive in a different location than your computer and pull it out once a week to backup your new work. I like to go one step further and backup my backup. My setup includes my MacBook which is backed up onto an external hard drive which is then mirrored to a second external hard dive. This allows me to delete some photos off my MacBook to free up space while still leaving my photos on two different locations.
