About mud_dauber

Chief getting-things-done officer. Product manager. Data geek.

I've led product management and design teams of 4 to 40 people across the globe. (Compilers, RTOS tools, IP, semiconductors.) I'm not the smartest guy in the room. But I know how to connect the dots.

    I'd almost pay attention to the message, but Kennedy has no credibility with me. Giving up 90% of animal protein has made me leaner with vastly lower cholesterol.

    Sounds like a good reason to not invest in parking garages.

    Meanwhile over here in WV, we are saddled with above-market electricity rates thanks to our state (non-)regulatory commission and a desire to keep old coal-fired generators operati…

    I use RememberTheMilk for this work - especially the notes feature for appending thoughts. Giving items a due date ensures I need to review things.

    JEDEC has long maintained an EOL/EOS standard for semiconductors. This was a big part of a previous PM gig. Sounds boring, and it was. But having a process kept us out of serious h…

    Boy, if robotics could learn how to bubble wrap, tape, box and stack both hard and soft items… They could hitch a ride on the back of a panel truck. Somewhat similar to forklifts o…

    I’m hesitant to simply say “read this”, but please consider The Mom Test. It’s a quick read & teaches how to structure conversations with potential customers.

    I got a taste for this years ago at Harris Semi. Grokking their RTX microcontrollers was a ton of fun. (Not so much for customers, who'd never seen such a thing.)

    My mom is in an assisted living center. The floor above hers is reserved for memory care residents. I'd love to see how to incorporate this into their affairs.

    The kicker for me was hearing that the NTSB - and NASA - rejected Boeing's fault tree.
