I decided to take apart the internal hard drive that failed on my computer. I also decided to take photos of what I found just for the heck of it. As you all probably know, there are two shiny disks inside and a set of four heads. I got to thinking that with two disks there are four surfaces. If it is a 500 gig drive, that means that each surface has to store one trillion bits of data. that is a boatload of data for sure. Anyway, as I was looking at the photographs I noticed that I caught a self portrait in the reflection from the disk surface. Pretty cool. Easily amused.
