In the Stupid Geek Tricks department, USB Floppy Disk Striped RAID Under Mac OS X. His five floppies RAIDed together have a combined size of 4.22 MB (!) and seem to work faster together than a single floppy would separately: “I was able to transfer ‘DEVO Uncontrolable Urge.mp3’ which is 3.6 MB in 32 seconds. Which is pretty good I think.”

(Now I’ve done it. I’m going to get a lot of traffic from Google of people looking for mp3, devo mp3 (maybe not), and Wil Wheaton naked mp3 (shudder).)

Anyway, this guy has also RAIDed five Sony Memory Sticks together... I think he needs help.

One year ago today: “Slackjawed in Capri.” I started to tell the story of our trip to the Amalfi Coast with Lisa’s parents, which ended with my being sick as a dog in Rome on Easter.
