Three SSDs? Or One?
So I was thinking about how fast the write speed for a striped set of OCZ Vertex Turbos would be: between 300-435 MB/s. That’s simply awesome. However, there are some drawbacks to my plan: 1) assuming onboard RAID0 will be sufficient 2) onboard RAID0 won’t have TRIM support 3) extra effort and cost of three…

Are Two SSDs Worth It?
I was just pricing out components for a Windows 7 system for a Photoshop user. My idea was to have two SSD drives, one for the boot drive, a second for ssd for photoshop scratch, and a 1TB drive for finished work. A Core i5 system with 8GB ram seems to price out at $2000,…

Keep a Chain Tool On Hand!
This morning as I was on may way to to the store before work, I got to Conneticut and Northwest and .(This being my lucky corner) my chain failed. This is only 2-3 blocks from my house, so like the time it was 18F outside when my freehub died at the same intersection, I was…

That Much Closer to Jacking In
I heard these articles mentioned on The Commandline podcast: A wearable brain computer interface. And for only 9000E, you can type by thinking. I would have thought that this technology would have made it on the scene a long time ago. It’s very much something that would mesh will well with wearable computers. Just need…

I’m impressed that even though I was so lazy as to not hang a sandbag from my tripod, it was as sharp as it is. Print version.
