Got a spiffy Bio page together today as part of joining a VC team as a technical advisor. Don’t laugh. VC’s are puffy folks.

This short bio is a bit less over the top.

Gone To SantaFe!

Well, after leaving Sun Microsystems in November 2002, we picked up and moved to Santa Fe. We had lived part time there for several years while working for Sun bringing the Santa Fe Institute methods and techniques back to Sun.

Our move to Santa Fe page has links to a more complete story about the move, along with a picture gallery of our first several months here. These include snow, the moving van, our street being torn up for sewer repair, the cat, and more!

Java Car

Possibly the most involved hack ever, the Java Car was a delightful romp through Java land, mobility, wireless, hardware prototyping and just plain fun!

The project started out with Behfar Razavi, my partner in crime in the Sun IT Skunkworks, falling in love with the Saturn EV1 electric car. Well, we were investigating mobility at the time, so decided “What the heck, this thing is really mobile”, so got one and started filling it with servers and Java.

The project was an immense success, getting Sun involved with auto manufacturers and introducing us to an entire new industry. We became anthropologists, helping the computer tribe meet the car tribe. The project went through three revisions, the last being done within Sun’s new Java technology group.
