A hard drive crash and a fresh start

I have a Powerbook that I use as a journal (no, I'm not a Mac elitist, I just like the fact that Mac OSX runs on BSD). I like to keep notes on my travels, experiences, gripes, etc. Memories are fickle and mine have been going as of late. Unfortunately, my hardrive died a few weeks ago and I lost a lot of my journals for a good portion of my life. So, I'm starting this blog to motivate me to reach in and pull the memories back out. And, it's an automatic backup (yeah yeah, I know, you should always backup your stuff anyway--I learned my lesson). The funny thing is, I lost my harddrive right before mid-terms. All my lecture notes "poof" gone. But, that's another story. So, I'm going to simply recall memories once in a while and complain. Yeah, lots of complaining.
