A few minutes ago I moved the laundry from the washer to the dryer … after I started the dryer I noticed a thunking noise. Usually this means some coins were left in a pocket and was rattling around in the dryer.

So I fished around in the dryer to find the rattling items … and I found a compact flash memory card. It apparently had been left in a pocket after one of our photo expeditions.

Considering it had been washed I figured it was toast. Scratch one Lexar 256mb 40x CF card 🙁 .

Just for grins, however, I decided to put it in the reader to see if anything was recoverable. Lo-and-behold … the card appears to be working fine. Even chkdsk reports everything OK.

Cool.

Ok, this is going to sound kind of sappy … but when I was on the trip to Colorado where I met Ginny (my wife), while driving in the mountains, I saw a sign that said “Falling Rock”. It kind of stuck my fancy.

It’s the kind of name that really means nothing … has nothing to do with my profession or hobbies.

When the domain ‘fallingrock.net’ opened up, I grabbed it.
