This is kind of a nerdy entry, but well worth the exposure.
I had the pleasure of sitting in on a technical presentation given by Steve Teig at my place of work.
As a brief background, he broke Thomas Edison’s record for filing the most patents in a year. As a result he was given a private tour of the National Archives and was allowed to hold Thomas Edison’s first light bulb. He was introduced as “Steve Teig... that is T-E-I-G, pronounced Albert Einstein.”
This man is single-handedly changing the way our computers will work in the future. His theories of escaping the Von Neumann architecture, labeled “non-Von architecture,” are incredible and have already been realized. His work has integrated hardware and software to create “every ware.”
Meeting people like this is rare and I had to make the best of the opportunity with a picture.
