I was eating a bit of lunch and found a reference to a friend right on the back of this sweet ride.  Enjoy TaTonka.

This is the second of two tutorials explaining the process of tuning camber in Forza Motorsport 2. The previous edition has some issues with mastering of the vocal narration over the sounds of the game, but those issues were corrected in this video. If this is helpful to you in any way or you would like to make a suggestion for further tutorials/videos, post it here or on YouTube, as I check them both daily (as of today).  More tutorials to come. 

Ok, seriously… I’ve heard some kick ass things about solid state drives and their speeds, but these guys did something unthinkable.  They built a RAID of 24 256 GB SSD Hard Drives.  The link has a video that goes through the build of the computer and what it can do.

High level:

• Open all Microsoft applications in .5 seconds (Yes, that’s 1/2 of a second)
• Open 53 base start menu Windows applications in 18 seconds
• Defrag the entire machine in 3 seconds
• Transfer data over 2 GB per second
• Recycle 700 files totaling 5.6 GB in the blink of an eye
• Copy a 700 MB DVD rip from one location to another faster than the DVD can drop from a 2 story window (. 8 seconds)

Watch and be amazed

Solid State Deliciousness

I have recently purchased a recording device for RCA (component) video sources converting to a digital file.  I use this device to record my X-Box video and audio.  I have decided that some friends of mine could use a bit of help with tuning of their cars in Forza, so I’ve started to record some simple tutorials to get them started.  Here, I’ve embedded the first of these tutorials which is uploaded to YouTube.  It covers camber.  More are coming, rest assured.  Please give feedback here or on the YouTube page itself.  This will help me improve the future tutorials. Please note: The narration is a bit quiet in places and it is difficult to hear me. I am already working to master further tutorials so that all narration is audible. Thank you.

I was recently in San Francisco for business and was able to get away for a while to go site seeing.  Unfortunately, the day we went, it rained literally all day long, and to make matters worse, my camera finally died on me.  These are what I was able to capture.

I’ve created an S-Class Audi S5 and took it for a test drive on one of my favorite test tracks, Mugello.  Somehow, I was allowed to drive through the pit without the normal automation taking over, so I took the opportunity to take a picture.  The second image was after my second lap on Nurburgring, setting my quickest S-Class time of 7 minutes and 23 seconds.  Sexy car, no?
