I’m not really going anywhere with this, but I just thought it was really cool. One of our Corsair contacts sent me a link that showed my feature in their media section of the website, but I didn’t realize I was actually one of the links on the front page.

The video also got a lot of positive comments on YouTube as well. It’s just awesome to see Tech Tips really gaining some traction.

Wow. Three video posts in a row here! We’ve been very busy with these GPU launches, and we’re very proud of the results (except for maybe Monitor Man… You’ll have to watch the video to see what I’m talking about :p).

Check it out!

Another Tech Tips already! We actually shot these both on the same day (you can kinda tell from the fact that the horrible zit is still on my chin… I refuse to wear make-up for this) and that’s been part of what’s made this such a busy launch.

A lot goes into a product launch besides fun things like YouTube videos, so I’m glad we still had time to get these out the door. I hope you enjoy part II of our January 8th launch videos.

We just released a new NCIX Tech Tips about the Phenom II & AMD Dragon platform.

I failed and got the required chipset wrong (should be 790GX, not 790FX), but other than that, I’m very happy with the results. Hopefully you enjoy the video!

Well a new Tech Tips is finally here. It’s not what we wanted to release (frankly) and we have some very exciting other stuff coming up soon, but we saw the weather outside, and it’s something I’ve toyed with a few times, so we thought “What the hey” and packed our junk outside.

Look for the Domino ALC to show up at an NCIX near you in the coming weeks!

Well the new NCIX Tech Tips is here. We didn’t have any samples to work with until only a few days before the retail launch, so we’ve spent a lot of time playing with these chips, researching online, and putting together this overclocking guide for the Core i7.

It’s not as in-depth as I would necessarily like, but at 8 minutes long it’s already a bit of a heavyweight. The white board I had in front of me looked like some of my calculus lectures!

This was actually filmed over 5 weeks ago before the rain season took hold of Vancouver. Recently the weather’s been lousy enough that I don’t even think I would have wanted to film this outside…

I’m very proud of this Tech Tips because it marks a continuation of our success in keeping the episodes shorter, and also packing in more information. Check it out below.

Well my day two coverage is actually being written on the morning of day three. It’s amazing how the hours and days seem to blur together at an event like this. I overheard Yellowbeard from Corsair saying on the phone “We’ve been here all weekend” when he had actually been here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and we laughed about it afterwards. I guess you had to be there.

Speaking of being there, here’s me at the event set up next to the Corsair rig within the Intel booth. We’ve had a LOT of people come check out the booth and of course it feels good to show off my hard work in person to people. No one even raises an eyebrow when I tell them that between 8-10 hours goes into a machine like the Dream Machine.

Me again with the Dream Machine and a lot of the swag that Corsair showed up with. They’ve actually got Corsair branded energy drinks, which have been a big hit along with the Intel chair pillows.

Thankfully our Intel guy, Ross, was kind enough to provide me with one of these. The chairs here look okay at first, but you sit down for a while on one and it starts to be not fun.

Now when I arrived I was very confused to see all of the staff with pink hair. My natural assumption was that they wanted to be highly visible in case people needed help. Actually it’s in support of the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. At 4pm on Friday they brought out the shavers, and every one of the staff members shaved his head.

nVidia also generously offered $1000 per shaved head in addition to the staff members up to $10,000. This Tech Tips host was very impressed and decided to do his part by getting his head shaved too. I didn’t clear it with the girlfriend, so we’ll see how that conversation goes when I get home. :p

Here’s everyone who went bald all together. Thanks to everyone here (including the girl who paid $160 to shave the event organizer’s (Gil’s) head, Fragapalooza raised more than $15,000 for breast cancer research. God knows a bunch of guys like us want to preserve as many breasts in this world as we can.

There have been other neat events like a wall sit for an nVidia video card. I’ll be covering that in an upcoming Tech Tips. Apparently there is also a dance-off today and you can bet there’ll be some good footage from that. Stay tuned!

Well another day another Tech Tips. This one was actually able to launch while I was gone. I realize we’ve done a lot of coverage on these sub-notebooks, but honestly I think it’s a very relevant topic because the product category is so new and exciting to many people.

We’ve got a lot of exciting things coming up for Tech Tips and we’re making constant efforts to improve our release schedule. Thank you for your viewing and the feedback that has allowed Tech Tips to keep improving.

By far the best Tech Tips episode we’ve yet produced. We’ve been hard at work shooting and re-shooting this episode to reduce the repetition and provide a more engaging viewing experience.

Part of the reason for the improvements is the important nature of the subject matter. After the tremendous interest in our Asus EEE (original) memory upgrade video, we felt that it would be great to do a showcase of some of the competing products in the market right now.

Also stay tuned for a follow up to this video featuring the Asus EEE 1000 which from my initial impressions is possibly better than any of the ones we have in Tech Tips #16.
