Warning: Huge Geek-Content in this post

I'm a nerd. Always have been, Always will be. Nothing can change that. I embrace my geekdom with eyes and arms WIIIIDE open.

And what an age to be a geek in! Tech is evolving so fast that it boggles the mind. We have computers the size of one's hand. We can transmit digital information to an untold number of destinations at previously unheard of speeds.

We can fit an 8 GB hard drive onto something no larger than your freakin' THUMB!!

KICKASS!

And, being in my line of work, anything that can make my job easier and/or faster means that I'm more efficient at what I do.

So, I think I should tip my hat to the various USB 'jumpdrives' I own. Hard working buggers, they be....

I have several... and ALL named after minions of the Original SOUNDWAVE from the 80's TF cartoon (Sidenote: if anyone has Teletoon Retro, the original Generation 1 Transformers series will be airing on it starting May 18th, 8 pm Eastern).

I have a 1 GB Transcend I've dubbed "Frenzy". I do believe that it was my first.

Then there's the 2 GB "Laserbeak" - also a Transcend US drive.

"Rumble" is the 2 GB SD card that gets used quite a bit for when I go recording with the Edirol R-09 handheld recorder. Also good for transferring digi pics to the developers'

Last but certainly not least, is the coolest one of them all - a black and purple 4 GB Sony that the exterior case is spring-loaded to protect the USB connector. This, I have dubbed "Ravage". Vicious, unrelenting.... Oh yessss...

And now, I think it's time to add to my minions. Time to pick up an 8GB flash-drive. Hopefully, it'll have the same gimmick as Ravage with the "transforming" parts. It shall be known as "RatBat".

Go forth my minions... do my Audio-related bidding!!



Cheers!
