I Failed Technology

The day is Monday, the time is 5:30P, the presentation is in morning and you have been here a million times before. The project is finished and you save it with no thoughts of the machine you love having different plans of sabotage... then it happens.

Your beautiful Mac, recently upgraded to 8GB of memory and all of its unibody glory decides the new sticks aren't going to cut it and give you the Kernal Panic. You freeze and think... I was mid-save. You point your finger as it reaches the power button and your Mac shuts down. A thousand and four thoughts start to rage through your head like a barrel over Niagara Falls and you, once more, hit the power button awakening the aluminum bodied god from it's sleep, find the file and of course, it's corrupted.

Kernal Panic

Armin Hofmann never had to worry about things such as this. His only complaints and screw ups were his graphic pen running out of ink or his cup of joe spilling on his work. He also never thought, man too bad I can't ⌘Z. Nope, he just says, "Man, I wish I had a time machine," and the crazy thing is, I have one. Yes, a Time Machine and it gives us the power to go back and bring back anything we want... we just have to remember to plug it in, which I did not.

If it's the worst thing to ever happen to me I'll be okay. 

Rookie mistake, lesson learned and I'm back to 4GB until the 8s get replaced.
