This quarter's load is (or see my previous Stanford Course Work):

EE390: Special Studies in Electrical Engineering with Prof. Dally

Seminars I attend (when they are interesting :-):

EE380: Seminar on Computer Systems

MSandE472: Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Seminar

Stanford Networking Seminar (netseminar) / CS548

This summer I am interning at Xilinx working on networking solutions based on the Virtex II Pro FPGA family. In a previous summer I interned working on a TCP offload engine (TOE) ASIC for now-defunct-startup Archway Digital Solutions' blade servers. A summer before I interned at Abrizio, a Silicon Valley startup, which has since been acquired by PMC-Sierra. Even before that I interned at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Bristol working with the Network Technology Department on a project involving a prototype Ethernet switch. Do you think I like to intern? :-)

View my Reading List, see why I chose Stanford, or some policy issues.

Or, see my collection of Electronic Tidbits, List of Things to do around Stanford, Silicon Valley, & The San Francisco Bay Area, and San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Biking Links.

I have recently discovered the world of Amateur Satellites and served as a School of Engineering representative to the Graduate Student Council (GSC).

See what Stanford has done to my brain--its not all good. :-)

Visit Yoda today! He will not always be available! (Unfortunately, the Stanford Housing Lottery was not kind and I am currently Ethernetless; hence, no more Yoda. But he will live on in our memory....)

"On famed Sand Hill road near Stanford University is the extraordinary nexus of Wall Street and Silicon Valley. The many investment banks and venture capital firms here feed much of the Bay Area's $213 billion economy and 3 million workers. That's why business schools fill up each year with dreamers and schemers." --Edward Iwata, San Francisco Examiner (I bike down part of Sand Hill everyday.)

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself, therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." -- George Bernard Shaw [I try to keep this in mind, but it is sooo hard :-]

"She had learned, in the slums of her childhood, that honest people were never touchy about the matter of being trusted." -- Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged (p. 806)

"Just as there is at all times a moral obligation to be intelligent, there is today an obligation to be cheerful." George Will -- Newsweek October 29, 2001

"I prefer the wicked rather than the foolish. The wicked sometimes rest." -- Alexandre Dumas

"Mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like. It's the only way to grow." -- Padme Amidala in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (as recounted on a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes)

In the end, that's my definition of leadership - not what he does, "the decider" - but what he inspires others to do, "the catalyst." -- Andrew Sullivan
