   About Brendan

• Who is this Brendan guy?
  
• Well, I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you...
  
  
• Where does he work?
  
• I work in Austin, Texas for Raza Microelectronics, Inc. verifying the Alchemy processor family. Prior to RMI, I worked for Metta Technology, another multimedia processor company and Conexant, before that, where I verified hardware and much of the software used on television set-top boxes (cable/satellite recievers/demodulators).
  Prior to Conexant, I worked in Austin on BOPS, Inc.'s DSPs and, before that, Somerset's (Apple /IBM/ Motorola's) PowerPC processors (used in Apple MacIntoshes) doing hardware verification.
  
  
• Where does he live?
  
• I live near Lago Vista, Texas in a home that feels nicely away from it all on a hilly, rocky, but treed 6.6 acre lot with my sweetheart, Robin, our dog (Buffy), 2 cats (Orion, & Kira), 2 horses (Fantasia & Hoover), and 4 chickens. The home was built for me, although I handled all the utilities (water, septic, power, telephone) myself and wired (power, phone, network, TV, speakers, security, etc.) the place myself (with lots of help from my friend, Jay).
  
  
• What does he do in his spare time?
  
• Oh, I keep plenty busy doing a number of things...you'll just have to look through the rest of my main page.
