Chief getting-things-done officer. Product manager. Data geek.

I've led product management and design teams of 4 to 40 people across the globe. (Compilers, RTOS tools, IP, semiconductors.) I'm not the smartest guy in the room. But I know how to connect the dots.

Don’t pass up Marfa Burrito, just off Highland Ave. Gigantic and extremely good. It’s a cool town on the edge of nowhere.

I’m in WV helping my parents. That workload has diminished over the last year, and I need a purpose.

I spent 30+ years at Freescale Semi, GSI Semi, AMD and a couple of startups. PM, operations, supply chain, SW development.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

I'd almost pay attention to the message, but Kennedy has no credibility with me. Giving up 90% of animal protein has made me leaner with vastly lower cholesterol.

Sounds like a good reason to not invest in parking garages.

Meanwhile over here in WV, we are saddled with above-market electricity rates thanks to our state (non-)regulatory commission and a desire to keep old coal-fired generators operating. It drives us nuts.

I use RememberTheMilk for this work - especially the notes feature for appending thoughts. Giving items a due date ensures I need to review things.
