I use a USB drive almost every single day. I have a problem keeping up with USB drives and caps so this can be problematic. Enter Lacie’s imakey USB drive. I never would have thought I’d be dorky enough to carry a USB on my key ring, but this looks so much like a key I’ll risk it.
Just got it in the mail today. It’s sweet.
Part I
I finally took the plunge and bought the upgrade to CS4 yesterday from Adobe.¬ Downloading the gi-normous 4.8 GB file was like watching my cat try to eat a chijuajua.¬ Painful.¬ I guess I could have downloaded all the trials and entered the license code, but it just feels more “official” to download the single file.¬ At $599 I need “official”.¬ Update: I moved my downloading operation to my work computer since it was dying at home.¬ Once I finally got the file downloaded though I encountered a second problem.
Part II
I have a Sandisk Cruzer (8 GB).¬ However, after trying to put the 4.8 GB file on it 10 times and getting “The disk in the destination drive is full, please insert a new disk to continue” each time I finally did some googling and realized that the problem was that by default the Cruzer is formated to FAT32 and the maximum file size for FAT32 is 4GB.¬ Here is how to reformat to NTFS.
Running shoes last about 350 to 550 miles. This mostly depends on the surface(s) you run on, your weight, and your running style. Since I weigh a little more than the average runner and I run on asphalt and sidewalks my shoes are bald around 350 miles. Today I retired my Air Pegasus in favor of a sweet new pair of Nike Air Zoom HAYWARD (pictured above). The Hayward’s run a lot like my old Nike Air Zoom Moire’s.
I’ve had my Nike Amp + for several months so I’ve logged probably 300-400 miles with it. I’d say this qualifies me to finally pass my judgment on it. For anyone who has gigantic, hulking biceps that are too large for standard arm bands would rather just put their iPod in their pocket this thing is the shiz.
In a nutshell, I dig it. But rather than be Nike’s promo boy, here’s my list o’ cons.

It’s the holiday season. Time to buy a gift for someone you [love/like/work with/live with/want to impress]. So what can you buy?
Ok, a. – c. sound pretty good, but d. could last forever. Also, not only does it give your special someone a merry Christmas, but it can also put some coin in the stocking of a “starving artist”. Maybe you are saying to yourself “Gee, it sounds good, but I don’t know any starving artists.” Luckily for you, I do. Here’s a sample of some of his work:
