• We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. – Plato

  • Either we conform our desires to the truth or we conform the truth to our desires. ― Os Guinness

  • Found this little jewel. The #Palm Pre with #WebOS was my goto phone for quite some time. Was about to just throw out, but got the urge to see it boot one last time. Glad I did.

  • Wow, totally forgot about a patent received for converting Microchip PIC assembly to Renesas R8C. Just found all sorts of design docs and the original patent description.

  • Came across a reference design we did back in 2008 for Arrow and Altera (now part of Intel) related to FPGAs and intelligent power management. Fun times…

  • Found my older BB devices while purging. Still miss the @Blackberry Hub on OS 10 :-(

  • Came across 200 pieces of Cinterion (now part of Thales) cellular modules based on Qualcomm’s chipset. Hate to throw these out. If anyone’s interested, contact me.

  • The Purge

    Over the past quarter century as an engineer, entrepreneur, business owner, and hoarder, I’ve accumulated a lot of stuff. In fact, there’s a whole room full of it I’m finally going to go through once and for all.

    While moving around boxes today, most of what I saw are just boring files, but I did stumble upon some vintage electronics and other (possibly) valuable or interesting artifacts. For the next few days (my wife has provided me with a totally unrealistic deadline), I’ll be consumed with this chore so figured to document some of the more interesting finds.

    Let the “fun” begin…

  • When gifts are replaced by rights, so is gratitude replaced by claims. And claims breed resentment. — Scruton

  • Everything that exists is hymn to God and we sing our harmonies to become part of the grand chorus of creation. - Rabbi Wolpe
