Computer Engineer living and working in Silicon Valley, California, USA. Almost 20 years (ack!) designing Microprocessors.
The high tech industry has no memory about itself at all. Within a decade, companies that once employed thousands of people and generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue can disappear without a trace. It would be nice to capture some of that history here in Wikipedia to remind everyone of the endeavors and hubris of this industry.
I first started editing wikipedia articles in August, 2004 using 63.201.32.110 and 209.68.182.172 IP addresses. I no longer use those IP addresses for wikipedia.
Some articles that need writing:
- companies - Cydrome, MasPar, Ridge
- list of defunct Network Processor Companies
Some high tech/computer articles that I wrote because nobody else did:
Prime Computer | Stratus Technologies | List of defunct graphics chips and card companies | Dado Banatao | Advanced Computing Environment | PMC-Sierra | Minisupercomputer | Bipolar Integrated Technology | Ascend Communications | Floating Point Systems | List of defunct hard disk manufacturers | Hal Computer Systems | Metaflow Technologies | List of defunct IA32 compatible processor manufacturers | Out of Order execution | The Soul of a New Machine | Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing - major rewrite | ASCI Red | ASCI Thor's Hammer | ASCI Purple | ASCI Blue Pacific | ASCI Blue Mountain | Exponential Technology | 8x8 Inc | Oak Technology
Some hobby (reading, movies, food) related articles that I wrote:
Eat Drink Man Woman | Hulk (film) - added plot section | Uplift Universe | List of films involving food | Outland (movie) - added plot section | Strange Days (movie) | A Great Wall (film) | Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins | The Accused - rewrite | New York City cuisine | Chinatown, Manhattan - very big rewrite | Crossing Delancey | The Taking of Pelham One Two Three | Battle of the Bulge (film) | List of films featuring automobile racing | Midway (movie) | To Live and Die in L.A. | Grand Prix (movie) | Swimming Pool (film) | Pork Chop Hill | New England clam bake | The Story of G.I. Joe | Bicycle frame construction | The Coca-Cola Kid | Mr. Majestyk | Se Tutte le Donne del Mondo | Tree ear fungus | Snow fungus | Fat choy (vegetable) | Chinese mitten crab | Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse | Sword of Doom | Go for Broke! (movie) | Crash Dive (movie)
