515: Stephen Takes One for the Team

[tjluoma]

I had to send my MacBook Air off for a keyboard replacement, so when it came back I finally did a better job of affixing the drive to the back:

There’s heavy-duty double-side tape holding that in place. Yes, I realize that it looks terrible to some people, but honestly, having a 2TB drive on a laptop (without spending thousands of dollars) is definitely worth it to me, even if it isn’t beautiful.

IMO, any computer that performs as needed is beautiful.

I am loving rediscovering Curio it is quite a piece of brainstorming/documentation/researching software suite.

I’ll admit that I did this as a joke because of all of the grief that Stephen gives David about his drive “taped to the back of his iMac” but I also have to admit that I haven’t taken it off since I did it. I had to use my laptop literally on my lap in a waiting room with no table, and it was really nice to be able to use my external SSD knowing that it wasn’t going to slip off my lap and fall to the floor while getting disconnected uncleanly.

Allow me to point out a couple especially terrible things about this picture:

Update: maybe David and/or TJ are actually visionaries?
Or maybe OWC is ripping them off:

There is no way my OCD tendencies would allow that to happen, I’d be a basket case!

It’s for folks with a sterner constitution than us!

Apparently! 20 characters

Oh my.

I’m definitely sending that to Stephen on Twitter.
