Solid-state drives (SSD)… if you haven’t heard of them, you soon will. They’re great for music players because there are very little moving parts involved; they don’t skip or corrupt as easy when transporting them from location to location on a daily basis. So if something like this has been so popular in recent years in a little music player, than why not apply it to everyday computing?
Unfortunately the SSD’s of today are having live down the ’sins of their fathers’. First-generation SSD’s were littered with errors and caveats.

That little printed piece can say leaps and bounds about a company or individiual’s philosophy and approach to business.
The only problem is… many business cards aren’t designed very well at all, so my collection of cards is sorely lacking in the talent and design arena. I was thinking to myself one day, “How can I fix this?”, and had an idea. Read on to find out how you come in to this equation and can benefit as well…
