Twisting by the pool

And thus the photo blog was born.

Another tech question

I'm thinking of getting an external hard drive, maybe about 80GB in size. Read somewhere that a clever option would be to buy a USB case which can take an internal disk drive. This would not only be cheaper, but also gives me the option of plugging in a dvd writer or other devices into the case later on.

What do you think? Suggestions? Brands?
