Stuff...To Have and To Hold

Yes, friends, like a bad penny, a splitting migraine...your toothless father-in-law...the smart*** know-it-all kid next door. Andy Marken is back and he's ready to make sure you have a fantastic time at this year's Southwest Computer Conference. No holds barred stories from the content and storage war zone with all the subtlety of a Mac truck coming to rock your world!!!!!

You have probably noticed you're seeing more information...more news...more dumb people tricks...more movies...more everything whizzing by in recent months. Your Twitter account is overdrawn. Your smartphone data bill is out-of-sight. Your camera is overloaded. Your significant other is beginning to wonder who you're carrying on with because you're never disconnected. Stuff has taken over your life. What's a girl/guy going to do? Well Andy Marken is back to give you the latest update on why your eyes are blurry and your mind feels like it is going to Explode!!! He'll take you down memory lane to see how your information overload got so bad, things you might want to consider with the weight of the world on your pocketbook and hints on how you're going to store all your stuff. Like the soft, fluffy, innocent clouds? Attracted to the cute, rugged little Flash drives? Love the elegant toughness of portable hard drives? Enjoy the status symbol of your home network server? Stashing away DVD and BD discs of content so when global warming hits you'll still have something to watch, listen, play with? It's a big, wonderful world with more information flying at you every day and sometime, somewhere, somehow you're going to want to store part or all of it. You know throw it in the drawer and you'll sort it out...later!!!! Make your stuff look good so its worthwhile to look at and worthwhile to store/share. Andy will be ready to open the goodies drawer for you this year . . .
