• King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX, RIP

  Very sad to report that Thailand’s King Bhumibol has passed away at age 88. He’s been king since age 18. Born in the US. Jazz musician and Swiss educated engineer, consummate ruler. The Thai community here in Nashville – and throughout the world – is in shock and mourning.

• Impending hard drive shortage

  Floods in Thailand have shut down approximately 25% of the world’s hard drive manufacturing capacity. Expect price hikes — or  at least no immediate price declines for hard drives.
