I was researching a few things for my previous blog post.  Let me rephrase that, I was trying to break back in to our YouTube channel since I had long since forgotten the password and decided to google my old company.  I found Josh Gille’s portfolio online and the work he did for us.  It turned out great and [...]

I don’t have a lot of time to write a coherent post so I recorded a quick video while driving to campus today. Pinterest is a lot like my old company, Rovrr, and I think they have a great product.  They allow people to express themselves through the products they like and, in return, Pinterest [...]

A few days ago a purchased a bismuth crystal off of eBay for pretty cheap.  Bismuth is a grey metal with a few interesting properties.  In addition to being the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol, when it is cooled slowly, it forms square spirals in a stair-stepped shape.  During this process, it forms an oxide layer that causes interference  with reflected light [...]

Okay, this is a bit of a departure from my normal technology and gadgets – here are the best non-electronic accessories you can buy.  These are all products that I like and represent the absolute best that you can find.  You can’t buy class, but you can at least fake it a little bit with [...]

I was playing around with my camera last night and I was taking photos of random objects and one of the things I grabbed was a 2GB SODIMM module.  I’ve never really looked at one closely before but I noticed that on the center of the board, on both the front and the back, were these serpentine [...]
