Probably the biggest topic of conversation at UltimateComputers.net is: will these parts work together?  This video explains how you should go about choosing parts that will be compatible.  Enjoy!

I get asked all the time to explain hard drive RAID (redundant array of independent/inexpensive disks).

So I figured I would make it the topic of discussion for my vlog this week. The description ended up taking longer then expected though, so I broke it up into three parts: Hardware vs. Software RAID, Standard RAID, and Nested RAID.

I just had to share this comic.  It’s not a new one, but I find it particularly amusing.  If you don’t already, you should start reading the xkcd comics (xkcd.com).  WARNING: They are are for tech geeks.  If you don’t get this one, then I refer you here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo.

I’m starting a Vlog!  It will be called TechBits.  The idea will be to informally answer tech/computer questions, talk about the technology industry, etc.  Below is the introduction video to the series.  Be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel! :)

TechBits will be my new Vlog. Please comment to let me know what I should change/improve, etc.

It’s been quite a while since I finished up with my Prosthetics Research and the Intel Science Talent Search, so I decided it was time for me to get all of my final materials online.  Below I’ve included my final research paper, two posters, a powerpoint, and a short slideshow of the prototype progression that I played at my booth at Intel STS.  Just for fun, I’ve put up some select pictures from Intel as well.  Please feel free to comment and ask any questions you like.
