It is not about achieving your dreams but living your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.

Reprinted below is my original blog on my thoughts on seeing Randy's last lecture.

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.

It was a remarkable two days of seeing competitors lay down their weapons to come together for the nerd equivalent of the Summer of Love.



As I’ve mentioned in this space on several occasions, the future of the semiconductor business will require collaboration and healthy ecosystems. I participated in two panels.

I’ve just returned from Japan and had the fortune to pick up a great, thought provoking book called “Black Swan” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. A Black Swan is defined as a rare event with three very special characteristics: 1) It is not predicted, 2) it has massive consequences usually on a global scale, and 3) in retrospect people invariable claim that they could have predicted it if they had been paying attention. Examples of Black Swans are 9/11, the Netscape IPO, and the stock crash of October 1987.

A significant step in System Verilog's maturity happened last week with the announcement that Cadence and Mentor have teamed to work together to develop the Open Verification Methodology around System Verilog. Bravo! With this move, the odds of System Verilog IP working across platform dramatically improve.

Mark LaPedus of EETimes last week made a few provocative statements in his column last week Semi IP Sector is a Lost Cause calling the semiconductor IP sector a “non-profit business” and posted a follow-up challenge to companies to challenge his conclusion Letter to Semi IP vendors adding that it would be probably a better use of his time to improve his golf game than to write about the IP market.

It’s a sad, closing chapter to a well-intentioned concept that never found a constituency.
