Welcome to my personal site. I wrote the site using Hugo, a static site generator written in Go. It’s been a great introduction to the Go template language. Hosting is done via static files published to Github pages. The theme for this site is based on a modified version of the Introduction theme.

Profiling is the first step to improving the performance of code. Suppose we want to profile the Python script below which is based on the example here. It prints out the first 20 Fibonacci numbers and is unoptimized to make the profile exaggerated. def fib(n): if n == 0: return 0 elif n == 1: return 1 else: return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) def fib_seq(n): seq = [ ] if n > 0: seq.

I am a full time ASIC verification engineer, and part time electronics and software tinkerer. This blog is a place for me to write about pretty much any topic that piques my interest. Usually this ends up being a deep dive into a niche topic related to my work in ASIC design. However, I will be trying to post some content related to my non-professional software, firmware, and hardware projects. My goal here is to be informative, and I hope ....

Outside of academia I have worked as a software engineer, mostly focused on back-end development. I’ve sung with the BYU Men’s Chorus and I play the piano. Other hobbies include swimming and hiking—Utah has some of the most diverse landscape anywhere in the US: from d....

Disclaimer: Many will argue this never happened. I wasn’t there so I wouldn’t know. The Anti-Hat Riots of 1973 The third day of protests The Anti-Hat Riots of 1973 were a series of violent protests that erupted in several major cities across the United States, primarily on the East Coast, in response to a proposed law that would have made it mandatory for men to wear hats in public. The riots lasted for several weeks and resulted i..

UNIX UNIX is the grandfather of all modern operating systems, and today it still remains the most powerful and least known. But if you use an Apple computer running macOS, or an iPhone or iPad running iOS, you are using a UNIX operating system. And if you do online banking, somewhere tucked away in the bank is likely a series of UNIX systems running Oracle Solaris UNIX, HP-UX UNIX, or AIX UNIX. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) likely r..

Besides drinking vast quantities of caffeine and spending most of my free time enjoying the outdoors, I have taught, developed, and managed various technology courses at triOS College in Ontario (Canada) since 1998 in both our college and corporate training divisions. Back in 2011, I took on a different title of Dean of Technology to salvage our video game programs, and it turned into a more strategic role where I was able to help shape t..

Apple Apple Computer was founded by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in 1976. Steve Wozniak provided the technical genius for computer creation, while Steve Jobs provided the expertise in marketing and design. Their first major commercially adopted product was the Apple II in 1977, which had a MOS 6502 CPU (also used in Commodore computers such as the Commodore 64) and shipped with BASIC and the DOS operating system (later versions). The Ap....

Growing up in the 80s was awesome! One of the best things about growing up in the 80s for me was that I developed a love of video games. I loved spending time at the arcade playing the classics like Tempest, Missile Command and Galaga. At home, we had an Atari 2600 and later a Nintendo NES. I loved it all. In recent years, I purchased my absolute favourite arcade games of all time…..mainly because I’d rather play those games than most..

Parenting I am a happily divorced proud father of one. I’ve pretty much raised my daughter since she was 5 years old on my own, and yes, I’ve made school lunches, threw kids parties, went to great places (Ontario Science Centre, ROM, SportsWorld, Storybook Gardens, Disney World and more!), spent vacations camping/cottaging, and watched far too many Land Before Time movies. The picture on the left is my daughter while we were vacationing at..

Future historians: They taught the AIs how to talk like corporate middle managers and thought this meant that AI was conscious, instead of realizing that corporate middle managers aren’t. I’m stepping down from my position as an adult. It turns out this isn’t for me, but I appreciate the opportunity. Software and cathedrals are much the same thing. First we build them, then we pray. How I want tech stuff explained to me in order of pre..

1. Don’t turn down an opportunity because it isn’t the job you want Career progression is never a straight line, and good opportunities don’t actually have the words good opportunity written in bold letters on them – you never know where they will lead you. For example, back around the year 2000 I was asked to teach a corporate Linux course on the weekends. I didn’t want to give up my weekends for a month, and quite frankly I thought..
