Requiem for a hard drive

A quote that I remember since reading it for the first time was "Sometimes, God humbles." Chris Webber uttered this gem to a reporter after the first-team All American's Michigan Wolverines lost due to his errant timeout in the 1991 NCAA title game. It reminds me to not get too big-headed amidst accomplishments and to stay grateful.

I don't think I was too arrogant in announcing that we won. But you never know...maybe there is something to this karma thing. Stray humble, stay hungry.

But wouldn't you know it...after the euphoria of winning Guam's first-ever national broadcasting award, I was struck silent today as my main development workstation at the office totally died. The hard drive just totally failed...but my trust IT engineer got it working just long enough for me to backup my critical project files. Thank goodness I'm rockin' a new laptop to use.

So I tip a 40 and say RIP to my long lost drive. We had some good times and made some magic together. I'll miss ya.
