Lore

I'm somewhat known in the computer architecture community for a paper I wrote in 1984 for my masters' thesis.  It has since turned up in Futurebus, the SGI Challenge architecture, and numerous other citations.

How was I to know this would become one of the more celebrated "events" in recent EDA history? (article)

Patents (emulation and hardware modeling):

US06141636 Emulator logic analysis subsystem
US05963736 Emulator reconfigurable target I/O
US06148275 US05369593 Hardware modeling element
US05625580 US05353243 Hardware modeling system

Fun

Fun things include bicycling, playing the piano, building and running the home network, digital photography, and driving fun cars.
