There are a few different computers that I regularly use. Partially for productivity (and partially out of curiosity with my new system), I decided to organize them into a list based on their performance. I could have ordered the list based on hardware specifications and my daily usage experience, but I wanted to get specific measurements. The most practical way to accomplish this was by using benchmarking software. For these tests, I’ve kept the computers in the states I normally use them: with any resident applications still running and without any hardware normalization. Here is the performance average of all the results followed by additional details.

Waaay back
My first experience building and customizing computers was over a decade ago when I worked a short stint in a small computer shop. I still have my first custom P4 desktop, complete with 3.5″ floppy drive. It’s been upgraded to its maximum potential over the years but has been made obsolete by my more recent systems, kind of like an old pair of jeans that you keep patching up but wouldn’t wear to church on Sunday.

I thought I’d begin this blog with some background information about a video project I’ve just (re)started, eventually creating a more in depth case study with subsequent postings.

It’s about time that I recreated this site. UnusualMedia.com started as a portfolio and contact site for my multimedia design business at the end of 2004. After going from freelance to a full-time corporate gig, the site slowly and painfully died off, starved of any new content to feed on. I had the intention to post new stuff as time flew by, but I lacked the motivation since I wasn’t looking for new gigs. This site soon became a neglected conceptualization that was going nowhere quickly. NO LONGER!
For the new year, my resolution is to start posting some content on this site. The goal here is relatively modest, to post something once per week. These ramblings might remain floating out in intertube limbo with only myself to view them, but that’s besides the point. (Am I serious about this? Yes! Will I actually continue doing it? Maybe!)
I’ve actively studied multimedia design since the 90′s and have worked professionally in the field since 2000, so I’m going to try to keep the content related to that.
