Today marks the 100th post on my blog and of course, no significant celebration of a milestone would not be complete without looking over some of highlights since the beginning.<\/p>\n
I’ve written some informative pieces looking at ways to improve the accessibility and reliability of the technology that we use in our everyday lives. In particular, a lot of us rely on hard drives for storage and being aware of how electricity can damage electronics and what we can do to protect both equipment and data<\/a> is quite important.

This is just the tip of the iceberg and there will be plenty more in the next 100 days.<\/p>\n The most viewed blog entry so far (which may not come as any surprise) is my take on potential iPad pricing<\/a> for Australia.
