Back that thang up

…your uhhh… computer, I mean.

What would happen if the hard drive on your computer crashed next week, and you couldn’t retrieve anything on your computer? All your documents, financial files, web sites, photos, music, movies: gone.

Don’t wait for it to happen, and wonder why you didn’t do something about it.

One of the easiest ways to back up your files is with a USB hard drive. It’s a hard drive, just like the one storing all the files in your computer, only in an external casing that you can simply plug into your computer and access through My Computer.

Dell Home currently has a 250GB Western Digital USB external drive for $83, with free shipping! Dirt. Cheap. It’s probably bigger than the main hard drive on your computer — which means that you can backup just about everything, and still have room for the future.

Click here to view the drive’s product page on Dell, add to your cart, then go to My Cart. Under the Coupon Entry heading, enter in the code D93FSJPT2PZ2WK for 20% off.

Who on earth is running?

Many of my readers already have fairly strong political leanings. However, for the rest that may be on the fence, seeking more information about candidates, or just trying to figure out who the heck the candidates are…

Google Earth has just added a feature that allows you to go anywhere in the country, and search for information on local candidates. If you don’t already have GEarth, ummm… why not?! It’s only one of the coolest programs ever, and it’s free. Once it’s running, look on the layers tab on the left, and check the 2006 US Election Guide tab.

NOTE: you need a fairly recent (3 years or newer) computer to run Google Earth.

Free Music

As if dirt-cheap music wasn’t enough, AllofMP3.com (love that name) is offering a free music player to play special free (unshareable?) tracks from their site.

So many pumpkins

A free stick of women’s deodorant goes to the first person who correctly guesses the number of pumpkins (not wearing a jacket) in this image. Post your guess in the comments.

When you run out of fingers and toes, there’s a lot more pictures from our weekend trip to the Harvest Festival.
