    How do you deal with the stress of doing all your projects under such tight time frames? I'm starting to do similar types of projects and want to know if you have any tips in coping. Thanks!

    How many hours per week do you spend on the Ben Heck show? Do you ever build something that is intended to go into production?

    Nothing serious, all the real questions are being asked below but for fun, I would ask Ben to say, "Aluminum Multimeter version Z" in both english and, you know, english (UK).

    what do you think about "wasted" power of today's computers. In age of ultra fast CPUs going at 4.6 GHz or even more we still have so much junk on our computers it's putting them right next to some more advanced MCUs. (seriously snake running on an 8 bit avr clocked at 2Mhz with interpreter is running smoother than on windows)

     

    for instance if you'd have 120 fps on CS source on ordinary windows. on stripped windows you'll get 20 times faster result, but imagine how much could you get if you had just a bootloader with drivers for support of different hardware, and the game ( rewritten to work along side the drivers directly under the CPU). what is your opinion on this?

    Can we bribe you to tell your secrets?

    I would like to have a nice chat with Ben to discuss his background, how he got into the DIY video area.

    I would like to know where he gets his ideas, what are his sources when he researches a project and who does he go to for help.

     

    I think  Ben is one of the interesting persons who you would just like to sit down with a beer and just have a free flowing discussion.

     

    I would think it would be fun for him and the viewers just to jam.

    What do you do when there's no inspiration, when you are totally out of ideas for a while?

    Ever had a writers (vloggers) block?
