Runway: The Finale - Fashion Files

JR has joined Team Revenge to make sure Atlanta's fashion scene is properly represented on Revenge Fashion Magazine. A few weeks ago he brought you The Revelation and now it is Project X. Get familiar with Jason's work and show him love.

Project X presents: The Finale - Fashion Files (04/23/08)
Project X is one of the premier fashion & event-planning organizations in the city of Atlanta, GA. The organization was founded by Casey Billingsley, Lauren Carothers, Jeremy Haynes, and later Tayo Fajemisin, Maurice Williams, and Darius Scott. The organizations principal slogan is "The key to innovation is indivduality; you can only obtain that by approving yourself."

Concept
Fashion Files is the undisclosed lifestyle behind fashion masterminds. After their computer was hacked their top-secret file was stolen containing fashion's most innovative and intrinsic designs. It was then mailed for the entire world to view from an anonymous dot com. The hard drive houses fashions most cutting edge and futuristic elements. The secret behind the hard drive will only amaze and divert viewers, causing them to methodically master the softwear. Now that this information is obtained, this will cause spectators to matriculate to the next lefel of fashion and esentially leaving them with no option but to log off.

Technolution: Storage Devices

There are many different ways to store data these days; none being foolproof. We recently stored over 300 of our sikkest photographs yet to a WD Passport 160 GB Drive and have not been able to access them since. Turns out the drive is busted. We took it to Staples and asked a techie there to help us to recover the photographs, and he confirmed that the electronics have been shot. He also said that based on what he saw we are looking at a data recovery job that could cost us upward of $1,000.

Of course, we called WD and they told us they would be more than happy to replace the drive. The problem is that they will not pay to recover our 300 prized photographs; that we know you are all dying to see. So, they put us on to one of their data recovery partners. Dude gave us an estimate of between $750 and $1,600, depending on how damaged the drive is. Uhm! Let’s see here. Should we seriously pay up to $1,600 to get back our 300 fire-hot fashion photographs? We don’t think so. So we asked dude if he thinks the price will be dropping anytime soon. He said maybe in another 5 years. Oh well! No 300 fire-hot fashion photographs for you guys anytime soon. But in five years, we promise to deliver.


But seriously, here’s what we’ve decided to do from now on. We will be buying 1TB external hard drives in twos. And will be storing our data in twos. On any given day, two is always better than one. And one more thing, we will start paying attention to the instruction ‘safely remove hardware’ before we unplug them from the computer from now on. No data recovery company will be hearing from us any time soon. Life!

Dignitary: Lewis Hamilton – Formula One Racing Superstar

Formula 1 Grand Prix, Japan, Friday Practice
In December 2007, Lewis Hamilton, the 22-year old Formula One Racing superstar, was clocked by French Police doing 123 mph in his £100,000 Mercedes CLK in an 80 mph zone. His car was immediately impounded by the Police, and later he had to pay fines of over £550, and received a one-month suspension of his driving privileges in France. Of course, Lewis did not realize he was driving so fast and issued an apology for doing so. Our guess is that when you are accustomed to getting by at very high speeds on race tracks all over the world it’s very easy to get carried away on public highways.

Lewis Hamilton2
But a little French controversy cannot put a blemish on Lewis’ track record. He is truly an amazing race car driver and something tells us his finest days are yet to come. If you don’t follow formula one racing, keep your ears open for when next he is driving and make sure you catch him in action. His performance is a must-see. He drives for Team McLaren. And if you ever see Lewis Hamilton in person, show him love and ask him for his autograph. Lewis Hamilton is a dignitary.
