One of my resolution for the new year is to setup a NAS (Network Attached Storage) at home so all my data can be backup in a centralized location with easy access.  I would also recommend making multiple copies of your data on different disks in case of disk failure.  I started my research over the Christmas break and that is when I came across SS4200E on buy.com for $135.

Here is the spec:

Happy New Year everyone!

2009 has been a mixed year for me.
On the positive note:

• Visit Paris and Rome (two places I wanted to visit ever since I was a teenager).
• paid off my car loan
• Investment portfolio recovered
• Currently employed

On the negative side:

• scrapped my car in an underground parking lot
• broke my glasses while sleeping
• have my wallet stolen during my last day in Rome.

Here is hope to a even better 2010!
