Western Digital Lugs Out 2PB My Book Google Edition

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

As if 2TB wasn’t enough, Western Digital has partnered with Google to provide the ultimate in offline desktop search and storage with a full 2 petabyte external hard drive. The My Book Google Edition comes preloaded with Google’s extensive cache of the Internet and their ubiquitous search interface giving you pretty much all you need until the AIs replace us completely. All this gratuitous power doesn’t come cheap, the 2PB My Book retails for $499,999 and is as loud as a jet engine, so it’s not for everyone.

Atlanta Game Development Meetup Group

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

MeetupA friend from work and I went to the Atlanta Game Dev Meetup Group last night and had a blast eating pizza, drinking beer and talking about video games. Interestingly enough having spent much of my life as a musician/music teacher, I ended up talking to several musicians and composers who were involved or interested in game development.

I spent most of my time talking with Paul Gilreath, a professional composer, and Zac Armgard, a composer and guitarist from Berklee who wants to get into game sound design.
