Movie production time! We go over the steps of movie making, and brief over the people who make these movies possible! This is an extremely oversimplified version of how movies are made - but it is also still extremely interesting. There is so much work going into these movies - so - I hope you learn some more insights into how these are made.

SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS! Now available on every streaming service except for soundcloud. (Youtube - yes - but a couple of episodes are missing due to transfer issues)

In this episode we finish up our talk on memory. We are adding to what we learned last episode in this series and finishing with SSDs and RAM. We also talk a lot of designing for purpose. What is this items purpose - and how is it designed to fit that purpose? (Headphones v/s Earbuds) Are there any drawbacks to each?

I am also creating a google document that summarizes everything in every episode as I publish them. So - if you need a quick catch up, you can check out this google doc.

It's time for the Finale! We go over all types of instruments in the orchestra and talk about how they create the vibrations that create the sound you hear!

Same sources as last week! Just expanded a bit more this time.

Like my podcasts? SHARE THEM! I am looking to grow!

Sorry I’m a bit late, Spotify was being a bit weird and wouldn’t let me upload!

We are starting another series! This time about the instruments in an orchestra, but also instruments you hear every day and how they work. How they make sound and all the different types of instruments there are!

In this episode we start talking about how sound works and I give you a brief intro into the types of instruments. In the upcoming series, we’ll talk about each individual type of instrument!

Today we are talking all about STORAGE! Well - at least some of it - we are talking about HDDs. Hard Disk Drive storage. We also talk a little bit about the hierarchy of storage and volatile and non-volatile storage!

Make sure to check our previous part of this episode about CPUs and GPUs if you missed that because we will be putting all this together at the end in an ultimate comparison of Mac v/s Windows =)

Here's the hierarchy I mentioned in the podcast:

Stage A - Cache Storage [THE FASTEST - TINIEST STORAGE]

Stage B - Cache Storage [VERY VERY FAST - TINY STORAGE]

Stage C - Cache Storage [ VERY FAST - SMALL STORAGE]

Stage D - RAM [FAST - BIGGER STORAGE]

Stage E - HDD/SSD [ STILL FAST, BUT NOT AS MUCH - TONS OF STORAGE]

All of these are very fast to the point that you may not notice if a data packet is stored in Stage A, or D, but they are still faster than the previous one! (It's a matter of miliseconds and seconds)

Merry Christmas! Make sure to share this episode with your loved ones - they may find a new favorite podcast =)

LAST PART OF THIS SERIES! Make sure to listen to (at least) part one before listening to this!

In this episode we talk about the last property of water - Dissolves a lot. We talk about why water dissolves table salt. Why can't you see the table salt anymore when you put it in water? We also take a slight diversion into the energy stages of electrons and also about the controversy of pluto. (Just a tad bit though).

Thanks to everyone for listening!

Publishing Schedule for Christmas Time:

Saturday Dec. 4

Saturday Dec. 11

In part two of this series we continue talking about Water! We talk about why it takes so much energy to heat up water compared to air, and why water floats when it is frozen. Remember:

Sticky wicky

not so hot

floats when frozen

dissolves a lot!

If you are still confused you can comment in Spotify, or just email me a [email protected]!

Information from my Science Class!

Surprise! There's an episode today!

We are continuing our series on The Computer in this episode. We dive into CPUS and GPUS each of their individual parts, and the difference between them.

Please DO Watch Part one of the video (S2 E14) for more context on what we are talking about! (Unless you have a general knowledge on RAM, SSD, HDD, and Display Technology)

Here's the video I was talking about (CPU v/s GPU)
