Many of you have heard of DROBO lately! It’s really cool and a very smart storage system!! It’s basically a RAID storage system at a MUCH lower price than RAID systems are known to be!! In their words, it’s “The world’s first storage ROBOT! Fully automated data storage that ensures that your data is always protected, your capacity is unlimited and requires no special knowledge or expertise!” It’s a GENIUS thing for weddings because you can keep updating your storage capacity as you add more events and not need to continue stacking up external hard drives on your desk! Ok, maybe I’m the only one who does that! ;) AND….EVEN better, they JUST announced a STELLAR deal on the DROBO with HARDDRIVES!! You can get the DROBO system WITH 4 TB of STORAGE for $1075!! STEAL!!! It’s normally $1600, so that is a GOOD savings for a RAID storage system, complete protection and reliability on the safety of your DATA and 4 TB’s of storage!! WOW!!

There are really few words to describe the incredible devastation from the recent earthquake in China and cyclone in Myanmar. The loss is indescribable and frankly, I can hardly believe it isn’t getting more attention or more coverage. With over 55,000 dead and 30,000 missing in China and over 134,000 dead or missing in Myanmar, it’s beyond catastrophic, there just aren’t words for the immense depth of the tragedy. CAN you imagine if 219,000 people died or were missing in the US!?! THE WORLD would practically come to a stop and come to focus on us…and all media would not talk about any other topic for years!!! Interesting how different countries just don’t get the attention we do.

This story is pretty incredible…a photographer was shooting a wedding when the earthquake hit! CLICK HERE to read the story…it’s pretty incredible and really makes you stop and think….about how our jobs can be SOO much more than we realize…how grateful I am to be alive….and soo much more…

SUCH.fun
