You can find out a bit about me if you like. Here are some quotations, puzzles, and poems. Some local FreeBSD tweaks.
I founded Achronix Semiconductor Corporation, the multi-GHz FPGA company that is based on asynchronous FPGA technology developed by my research group (John Teifel's Ph.D. thesis). Please do not use my former Achronix email address (I won't get the message), as I am not affiliated with Achronix at this point.
