Our Blog

My friend Zach Schuermann and I recently started a blog called Open_Bits. We plan to use it to share:

  • Technical solutions to software issues we have encountered

  • Clarifications of common processes in using and modifying software

  • Other topics that interest or intrigue us 😄

Acknowledgment

I would like to acknowledge many people for their assistance and support.

  • My parents and friends, because I wouldn’t have made it where I am today without them.

  • Matt McCraney, for believing in me and helping me to achieve my goals inside and outside of Crossfit.

  • Dr. Chung-Hao Lee, for mentoring my research and his constant passion to help me learn and grow.

  • Zach Schuermann, for his generous consulting on any computer-related issue and his help with this website.
