WELCOME…

This is my personal homepage, recently rejuvenated to talk about new and old
ideas, not just in computing but also in science, engineering, architecture, and
philosophy in general.

These days I’m a principal engineer at Roku and have contributed to a variety of
Roku products over the last decade. So, here’s the unabashed pitch: if you like
streaming video, check out Roku. They’re great!

Back in 1985 I was lucky enough to introduce multitasking to the world of
personal computers with the Commodore Amiga Operating System Kernel. Those were
some fun days… back when home computers were a new and exciting concept, a dream
for many of us.

I still enjoy designing operating systems and languages, although these days I
tend to think most systems have become overly complex. But… I’ve got some
theories on why that happens and some ideas on how to make things simpler,
smarter, and just as effective.
