Sentry Safe for Data Protection

Chris McGinn posted a blog on Digital Landing! Read about ways you can protect the information on your computer.

We recently got a waterproof/fireproof safe to protect our important documents. I had been meaning to do it for years, but like so many other things, it kept getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

I noticed that the company–Sentry Safe–also has a number of media protection items as well.

One is a fireproof/waterproof hard drive that you can plug into your computer and back up your data in case of an accident. You can also use it in dirty or dusty environments. It is available in 80 GB, 160 GB and 250 GB sizes.

Another small size data storage protection case houses up to 60 DVDs or CD and connects and protects a range of other devices like iPods, flash drives, etc.

Of course, there is also a variety of online data security options, too.

A Secret Diary

Chris McGinn posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the all new diary for girls, in the form of a USB.

When I was a little girl I had the diary with the lock that was supposed to keep my secret hopes and dreams safe. Meet the new, teched-out version– Take’s Secret Diary USB flash drive designed for teens.

The small drive has a key-pad for entering your personalized 3 to 10 digit PIN-number. Encrypted with hack-proof software, what you write is for your eyes only. If you worry about forgetting your PIN, they have PIN replacement assistance and a Never-Lost backup subscription that retains your diary entries in case of loss or theft.

This drive is geared toward girls with fun games and widgets such as a Fortune Cookie feature, rate everything from boys to movies to restaurants with My Stars, and analyze your dreams with Dream Catcher. Not sure what to write, try Thinking Deep to point you in the write direction. There’s even a Mood Art feature that analyzes your words and adds appropriate “mood” colors to your page.

You can personalize entries with a variety of backgrounds, colors and text styles. You can also include your own photos and add drawings (ala Perez Hilton)

It sells for $59.95 via Amazon.
