Backblaze Online Backup Service

by Liz Heather in Advice, Links

If I ever have a kid, I will constantly tell him/her these three things.

Don't smoke - your grandfather will love you less if you smoke.
I'm putting you on birth control at 16 (or I'll start buying you condoms at 16).
As soon as you own a laptop, back up every four weeks.

There really isn't more to life past those statements.

I've had my external hard drive for a few years now and I back up at least once a month. And even though I own that device, there's always the thought in my mind that something could happen to it.

I recently learned that there are ways in which you can back up online now (I realize I'm probably the last one on earth to lear this, calm down) and I'm likely going to make this my next move. The one that I hear about the most has been Backblaze since it's $5/month or $50/year. Maybe it's just me, but that seems amazing. Definitely gonna do this.

You can find out more about it over here.

The Tumble in Scrooged

by Liz Heather in Links, Movies

Let me be clear, it is not funny when someone in real life falls down. That being said, this part in the movie Scrooged (at 20 seconds) when Bill Murray first stumbles and then slips from his foot sliding sideways? I lose my shit every single time I see it. That foot slip looks like it was a complete accident (and that'll be the first thing I ask the man if I ever meet him), which is maybe why I find it so especially fantastic. Love this man. Love this fall.

Alvin & The Chipmunks Christmas Song

by Liz Heather in Links, Television

Is it dumb that I really miss this version of the chipmunks? I hate the new ones almost as much as I hate the really old ones. But this Christmas special they had on VHS? I still get tingles from it. There's just something about cartoon snow that really floats my boat.
