A couple of weeks ago, I joined the BzzAgent Kingston Data Traveler Locker+Campaign. My free flash drive arrived and now that the semester is winding down I have a bit more time for fiddling with the techie toys, so I set it up today while the ham was roasting on the grill.
If you haven't tried cooking a ham this way, I really recommend it. For a spiral cut ham, drop it into a cast iron skillet and cook in closed grill at about 300°F for an hour and a half or so. For a ham with the skin still on it, you want to score through the skin so the fat renders out and place it on a grate over the cast iron skillet so that the fat dripping down doesn't cause flame up.

Sweet, isn't it? Quick, simple setup process, easy to use: I am planning to store all of my grades and attendance records and such for the summer term on here and, yes, I am going to recommend it to my students because it is just that cool.
I wonder if that ham is ready yet??

LOL! Was this about ham or the device?! ;) How WAS the ham?
I got a little distracted by the ham for a second there. I loooove me a good ham! But then I remembered what I was doing and began appreciating the idea of a secure flash drive device. Great tutorial!
