4-bits, 8-bits, and a dollar!

Listen on:

I’ve lived technology my whole life. Modern electronics and computers were both still in their infancy when I began my journey. That was fifty years ago. So, I am sharing some stories from this journey from 4-bit to 64-bit microprocessors. From hybrid transistor/vacuum tube devices to multicore IoT devices. It’s been a fun, weird journey and I’m not done. I hope you enjoy my stories.

What you do may not be fun, but you can still have fun while doing your work.
