If only Scrabulous allowed lolspeak words:

That reminds me, apropos of my previous Scrabulous post… I just got a new external hard drive (actually an internal drive and an external enclosure), and, in keeping with my tradition of giving my hard drives silly names, it is now officially known as:

Heh. “Khaaan” joins, among others, “GENIUS HARD DRIVE OF DEATH” (the name that started the tradition, courtesy of Kristy), “One Hard Drive to Rule Them All,” and “Sectumsempra II.” (The original “Sectumsempra” had a technical issue and had to be returned.) So, with a Lord of the Rings-themed name and a Harry Potter-themed name, it seemed only fitting that I have a Star Trek-themed name.

Some readers might recall that I used to have an external hard drive named “Joementum,” but it too had technical difficulties — for which I blame Ned Lamont — and ultimately it had to be replaced. In fact, “Khaaan” is, in essence, its replacement. Alas, I totally forgot about my original plan to name its replacement “Joementum the White.” Oh well. (Hmm: replacing Lieberman with Shatner? Well, at least I’m staying within the Tribe.)
