Eva’s First Dance Class


Photo-A-Day #1989

Today Eva went to her very first real dance class. This wasn’t some Mommy and me playtime event this was a class where Allison drops Eva off and she takes class for an hour. Eva has herself some new shoes for both Ballet and for Tap. She also has a new leotard and she showed it off to me before she left. She was very, very proud of the shoes though. It was a really great moment to see her so excited about going to her first dance class. I think that much of the excitement had to do with taking the class alongside my cousin Amanda, Eva’s second-cousin. They are so good together and it is fun to see them having fun.

Wireless Backup Storage, Oh Yeah!

Now that my sister got us a new router for the network I decided to take the new Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Home out of the package and attach it to the router so I can do some wireless backup of the system here in our home. With this device I can automatically have continuous happening for three computers simultaneously. They can be PC or MAC because this device supports Time Machine. I’m so impressed already with a few of the features of the GoFlex Home. It was incredibly easy to set up. I plugged it into the router, ran the software on my desktop and bang, there it was ready to rock. I set up custom backup options for the device and let it do it’s thing.

The next thing to do is decide which will be the other two computers to have automatically backed up. Most likely we will use my laptop and maybe see if my sister will like to back up her Mac. I’ll be making a few videos about all of the Seagate products that are now part of our digital family. They couldn’t be more welcome, really. Next up I think I’ll set up the GoFlex TV and see what we can do with that.

As far as disclosure, I wanted to work with Seagate and so I asked, I offered a unique opportunity to test the drives in a real life situation in return for the drives. I’m a fan of the product and really enjoy the brand so I’m excited to be working with a brand that is one that I trust and that fits this blog so well.
