For a class presentation I edited a fun little video depicting a humorous battle between Unix File System (UFS), hierarchical file system (HFS), and extensible file system (ext). UFS is depicted by Darth Vader, HFS by Emperor Palpatine/Steve Jobs, and ext by Luke Skywalker.

On October 11th my mobile application entitled BYU Mobile Student (v1.0) was certified and released to the Microsoft Zune Marketplace for use with Windows Phone 7, free of charge. You can view it in the marketplace here. Although I imagine that the market for university students at BYU Provo who u... Comment - Like

Introduction:
The fact that the original Microsoft XBOX can be modified into a potent media center computer has been well known by many for years; however, a number of the once useful guides scattered across the Web have become cryptic and outdated. Here I will attempt to provide a fully updated gu... Comment - Like

Thanks to devices like the iPad and continued success of the iPhone, Apple’s popularity seems to be skyrocketing these days, at least in a transient way. Their ever-present marketing continues to convince people that their products are the end-all, be-all, who then give little regard for potential... Comment - Like

You hurriedly travel home to open the new HDTV you just purchased. After connecting the countless wires and expensive components, you fire up your new machine to watch your favorite Blu-Ray movie. At first glance, everything is crisp and glorious, but then, something just doesn’t look right… wha... Comment - Like

One day a Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
“House,” she declared, is feminine: la casa.
“Pencil,” however, is masculine: el lapiz.
A student then asked, “What gender is ‘computer’?”

Like many folks this past holiday season, I found myself traveling the sky-lanes of America in the cattle car that we like to call the modern airliner. When it comes to heights, I tend to demonstrate a standard fare of caution that has kept me alive at least this long. Sure I enjoy the occasional Fl... Comment - Like

At last, I have a real computer again! After months of research, I finally retired my borrowed netbook for a high-performance computer. I decided on the Sager NP8690 laptop because of its awesome hardware and warranty for a reasonable price.

For the past month and a half, I have been living with only a humble netbook as my primary link to the digital world. For an IT/computer nerd like myself, this is a big deal. I am in a transition stage from my trusty, beastly PC mid-tower powerhouse to a desktop replacement laptop (eventually). It s... Comment - Like

Recently I went and watched the movie Inception after hearing so many positive reviews about it. It certainly is an excellent film, mostly because it forces you to pay attention, but is at the same time not so confusing that it neglects your interest. The visual effects are stunning and the a...

(Updated 24 June 2010) Apple and AT&T have done it again – an iPhone release so screwed up that no one knows what is going on nor what will happen. On June 15th, online preorders began but quickly overwhelmed the system and brought both company’s servers to a halt. As if that weren’t enough, t... Comment - Like
