Hang around a group of Mac power users long enough, and eventually, you’ll hear the term eGPU. As you can probably surmise from this article’s headline, eGPU is an acronym for “external Graphics Processing Unit.” The acronym is pronounced “eee-gee-pee-you,” not “egg-poo.” It describes an external chassis that is connected to a laptop computer via a high-bandwidth connection cable and provides more graphics processing power than is available from the laptop’s internal graphics processing unit (GPU).

If you've listened to my interview with Cirina Catania on the OWC RADiO podcast, you've heard me talk about my personal journey in learning to build and mod microphones. During my time stuck at home due to the NY Pause order, I've delved deeper into the world of DIY Audio projects and thought I would put together a mini-series of two articles to help get you started. In this article, I'll cover some of the tools you're likely to need to successfully pull off a DIY audio build, whether a microphone, DI box, or mic pre.

Perhaps the best thing about getting older is that you have the opportunity to watch dreams turn into reality. Solar power from photovoltaic cells was just an expensive, impossible dream back in 1970 when I was an 8th-grade student at East Junior High in Aurora, Colorado, celebrating the first-ever Earth Day. In this article, I’ll talk about the roots of solar power, the first practical uses on spacecraft, and how companies and individuals are now taking advantage of the sun to produce clean, inexhaustible energy.
