Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Okay, the Verizon store in Brooklyn is awesome - they replaced my phone for $50 (the standard out of warranty repair fee), so I now have a shiny new Treo 700p that's just like my old one only it, um, works. Yay!

I'm having a kumbaya moment reading the LAistas banding together in tech-support. It's a beautiful thing to see.

You all need to plan a synchronized vacation in DC. I'll make a chocolate cake that will make you say MaMa! And in your sugar stupor, you could help me get my technical act together. Doesn't that sound like fun?

In the meanwhile, congrats Laga. You will love the shuffle once omnis whips it into shape.

Yay Jessica! Congrats on the less painful option coming through.

So what are people's recommendations for external hard drives? And where to find the best deals?

I've had good experiences with Western Digital and LaCie drives - I think LaCie are slightly cheaper these days, but I could be wrong. Dealnews.com should have links to sales.

Oh good. I thought I'd heard people making fun of it for it's extreme minimalism.

Sean, I like Western Digital for the most part - I have/had 3 passport drives. One of the drives got fucked up, but the other 2 have been going strong.

Minimal = ease of use and light. I see walkers/runners with them every day.

I do love it! The only issue is not being able to see a display when I'm skipping around but hey it was free.
