What am I doing? CUSD!
CUSD = Cornell University Sustainable Design. Ever wonder why I sometimes don’t respond to emails for a long time? Or why I can’t release videos every week? CUSD is the reason. It’s my bread and butter at Cornell – far more important to me than any of the classes I’m[…]
SudoGlove goes BOOM!
Our Exhibit at BOOM 2011 BOOM = Bits on our Minds. It’s an annual event hosted at Cornell University by the faculty of Computing and Information Science. It’s a really awesome event, and every year I look forward to attending and checking out the dozens of amazing projects that students[…]
Workbench of the Week!?
My Lab workbench was featured on “The Amp Hour: Episode 30” on 02/15/11 A few weeks ago, I discovered the totally awesome Amp Hour Podcast. I even blogged about its awesomeness! Anyways, they have a segment on the show called workbench of the week, and I figured I’d send in[…]
Cornell University Sustainable Design
This has been a busy semester! After working on Cornell’s entry into the 2009 Solar Decathlon Competition, several of the team members and I determined that we had the power to do something really amazing with the knowledge we had gained and resources we have available to us at Cornell. […]
Ignite Ithaca 2010
Watch the Live Stream of the Event! Enlighten Us. But make it quick! That’s the motto of the Ignite Speaker series. The premise is that a bunch of presenters go up in front of an audience, and talk about something cool. Each person gets 5 minutes, and 20 slides that[…]
Upgrading my Computer (Ultimate Computer 5 –> 8)
This year, I decided to move out of the dorms at Cornell, and rent an apartment with 4 friends. Naturally, we wanted to have some kind of entertainment system, but didn’t want to pay a monthly cable bill, since we hardly watch live TV anyways (hulu is where it’s at). […]

Long Time no See…
So, it’s been awhile since I’ve actively updated my blog or my youtube videos. Even my presence on UltimateComputers.net has gone down as of late. As many of you probably know, I’m currently in my sophomore year at Cornell, studying electrical and computer engineering. This semester has been a tremendous[…]
Cornell Solar Decathlon at the NY State Fair and Beyond
This past Thursday marked the start of my sophomore classes at Cornell University. I’ve decided that I’m going to affiliate with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Major, and I’m also hoping to pursue a business minor. However, classes have not been at the front of mind recently; instead, I’ve been[…]
HTPC a la Cornell Solar Decathlon
Unlike many of my other builds, I wouldn’t consider this one to be an “ultimate computer“. The Cornell University Solar Decathlon Engineering Controls Team had something different in mind for this computer. As I’ve mentioned in some previous posts, Solar Decathlon is a team at Cornell that is building a[…]
