With all that is happening in the world, including an avalanche of containers falling off a ship back home, being in #Kavala (even if it is for a business trip) feels only more surreal.

I can't iterate how pleasantly surprised I was to meet so many people at #openSauce who are creating tools to enable open source semiconductor fabrication.

I finally got to try my hand using the laser at my new office. Bonus: the #asic still works after I had no clue if I was doing the #decapping right.

Awake at 4am on a Saturday without any particularly great reason to be? Here's a #micrograph of a wire bonded specimen of an #asic I'm working on this year.

A friend hosted our #friendsgiving to help us stay sane during this time.

This is a subject super near and dear to me. I now basically work on #asics and to a much lesser degree #fpgas but in the time around when the M1 came out was a string of R&D programs I started on that got cancelled in succession for "limited business viability" reasons.

It's made for a very long week after finding ball failures on these bga #asic packages only after day 11 of accelerated thermal testing.

Spending this weekend doing weekend things (cheering on a friend playing in a #tennis tournament)

The company was handsome for a gorgeous sunset yesterday.

Tomorrow we travel to begin a return to reality, and to work.

I've been at #errf all day, no further explanation should be needed!

I've been in the SF bay area all week and only just tonight did I notice the pattern on the curtain in my hotel room.

First production wafer of #chiplets I've been working on for the past year just dropped @ work, now I've got that out-of-office auto-reply up, and it's vacay time!

I ran across this blog entry that digs a bit into what's under the hood of the #BambuLabX1C that others may also find interesting.

I went into #WashintonDC for work this morning and concluded with a late lunch with new coworkers at this #revolvingsushi place before heading to take the train home. the waitstaff didn't have any recommendations to offer tho.

I'm refraining from opining/judgment on this one until there's experimental data pointing some way or another, but hopefully I'll be able to hear more at #scitech next week.

@Dtl as a contribution to an #Apollo50 event in 2019, I made a couple bytes of rope memory but this looks like it stays fun after it's been built.
