This is the only way I know to make 100% sure that the virus that attacked the laptop this drive was in will never infect another machine (at least, not from that machine).

The first blow was with the claw end of the hammer -- the platter instantly shattered (pulverized actually). When we picked it up, this fine dust came out. It was rather gratifying!

Soon to be a non-infected hard drive...

What happens when my team isolates a virus-infected computer?

Behold -- the before picture.

Tomorrow -- the after.

Angles and Plane ...

Beautiful day today. While I was out grilling, I looked up and saw the plane streaking across the sky. I got the camera out just in time to snap a pic just before it passed over the house. I liked the angles, and, as I'm sure I mentioned before, I LOVE flying things...

Revelation...

So, since nearly everyone already either fiigured it out, or already knew, I'll just let the rest in on the secret. We are getting a new puppy!!

Here you see Clementine being prepped for her new brother, ZiggyJ (Ziggy, 'cus we like Ziggy, which is his father's name, and J as an homage to his original name -- Jet).

Pictures of our new baby can be found on his new Dogster page. He arrives on Thursday, so you can probably guess what my pic-of-the-day will be that day!

Something's Coming (part 2) ...

We're gonna need this soon...

Sunset -- Ocean ...

The view westward (duh) down the street that Shura (our oh-so-awesome dog sitter) lives on, just after the sun dipped below the horizon.

I guess I'm just a sucker for heavy light contrast.

Something's Coming...

Something good...

Watch for more clues in the coming days.
