48-Hour Technology Blackout Journal: Day 1 and Day 2
- Welcome to my 48-hour technology blackout journal taken during the dark time I spent without digital entertainment.

This little guy plugs right into your television and plays any videos, music, or photos that you have stocked on your GoFlex drive or any other USB external hard drive.
