Netgear DS524 - 24 Port 10/100 Dual Speed Stackable Hub (Free)
I have a Netgear DS524 - 24 Port 10/100 Dual Speed Stackable Hub free for the taking. I replaced it because it was making noise. I think it is just a bearing in one of the fans but given the closet where I have it, I didn't want to take a chance with a fan going out and taking out my network.It works and is free to a good home.…See More

- About Me
- I am the atypical engineer with a liberal arts background, a multi-disciplinary person with work experience in several domains: telecom, datacom, computer engineering, systems design, organizational development, entrepreneurship, investing, corporate governance, writing, public speaking, education/training, and issue advocacy. I complement my technical background with additional degrees in Economics and Government. I am a good communicator and skilled writer capable of bridging the technical and non-technical worlds.
In 1997 I was a member of the founding team of Cerent Corporation. At Cerent I helped manage the relationship with our venture capitalists, specified the software architecture and hardware platform, designed multiple subsystems for a 14-processor fiber-optic telecommunications multiplexer. Also, as the principal engineer with complete system knowledge, I integrated the system and was the engineering representative sent to key customer sites when an issue turned critical. As a hiring manager, I recruited the initial software team and participated in the hiring of over 200 employees. In 1999 we sold Cerent to Cisco for $7.2 Billion.

This is an open letter to VinoPinot (aka VinoP):
ContinueI need to reach out to you as your behavior on FourSquare is having a negative impact on the FourSquare community.

Shared Workspace - Naming Opportunities

Hello Wired Sonomans,
I'm really excited about how the Shared Workspace is shaping up and we have some first-rate architects, facility, color and lighting planners helping us out. As you all know building out the new space is not going to be cheap as we are trying to create a quality environment that will not only serve everyone's needs but be a place where people will want to spend time.
One of the ideas that I'm putting out for consideration is…

Greg Rank said… - you are welcome. That article made the front page of yahoo's website today
I'll make the Tuesday gathering one of these days- I don't get back into town until 5:30pm and Tuesday tends to be one evening my wife and I hang out together...

Gustav Hobel said… - Hi Chip. Got your email re. City Council meeting on Wednesday. Unfortunately I have an appointment for this day and can't attend. Today also the Press Democrat had an abbreviated version of the NYT article. It mentioned that the expansion of broad band access is written into Federal Stimulus Act. Maybe a discussion contribution to the meeting.

Peter Hansen said… - Chip. Is there anywhere on this site for posting "event feedback"?
Maybe under events there could be a blog? I heard your Google Docs
training at my lab was a great success. Glad my student, Matt, could
lend a hand. He will "no doubt" be a force in the coming years in media.
Anyway, if there is a feedback loop, point me there. Nice mixer tonight.
Let's try to find a "Summer Venue" out doors with room to move. Nice job all around!

Great site!

Great work on this site. It is long overdue given the talent pool in the Valley.
