Just got finished reading THE MAN BEHIND THE MICROCHIP: ROBERT NOYCE
AND THE INVENTION OF SILICON VALLEY, by Leslie Berlin. The book was an
excellent "read." Noyce was a brilliant physicist, inventor, manager,
executive, and P.R. guy. He achieved the very heights in almost
everything that he did, and won accolades from many sources. Yet his
family life was not entirely happy, and in the end he may have felt
that he had not fully been a positive parental role model to his four
children. This book was well-written, and interested me because I
worked in the computer electronics industry in Silicon Valley during
the decades of the 1980s and 1990s. As a production test technician and
as a field service technician, I had to work with many of the products
that Noyce's company, Intel, produced. It is always interesting to me
read the biographies of people to know more about them beyond the
public images which the project to the press and other media. The human
and personal sides of the lives of famous people are more interesting
to me than their accomplishments, for these sides of their lives point
to what they share with the rest of of us in humanity.

"With the successful completion of these plans, we will have
the vast majority of the synergy-related headcount reductions
completed and we can then start to put this chapter of our
history behind us and focus on creating a world-class company."

"Why are Swanson TV dinner instructions so inconsistent?
On some of them they want you to leave the plastic over the
mashed potatoes. On others they instruct you to take it off
the mashed potatoes but leave it over the green beans and
poke holes over the entree. I've concluded that it doesn't ...

Constitution supposedly did away with casteism, and we know how much effect that has in the real world! // I have attended only a few weddings where the parties were Panjabi and Chinese. The Panjabi boys were brothers who were only nominally (and not practicing) Sikhs; the Chinese girls were U.S. college classmates. // I was told in no uncertain terms that "no Indian would ever marry you." So I wound up marrying an American woman of English and Norwegian ancestry. // So I am one of the few Chinese Sikhs in this world. My belief has nothing to do with Panjabiyat or having visited Harimandir (Darbar) Sahib in Amritsar, or Nankana Sahib near Lahore (Pakistan). Instead, it has to do with the beauty of universality as articulated by Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji and his guru successors in the Gurbani of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture. // Best wishes -- Loren

As for the casteism ...it takes ages to get out of age-old conventions. But I am glad that the things have started looking up in India. Not many consider this as taboo anymore ...except for the government which is determined to make this issue a vote-earner. I wish there will be better days ahead.
