If you’re old enough to remember Yogi Berra, NY Yankees catcher and accidental creator of some of the most memorable wrong comments, you might recognize the title of today’s blog, which is one of his sayings. It was also the opening for the Science Fiction panel at DesignCon 2010. Among the panelists was science fiction author and JPL chief engineer Gentry Lee. I sat down with Gentry after the panel … Read More

I just got back from the Design Vision awards announcement…and Mentor won the award for HyperLynx PI (power integrity) in the System Modeling and Simulation Tool category! See…It’s not just me that thinks HyperLynx is a tremendous tool!
In the photo, HyperLynx Development Engineering Director, and Father of HyperLynx, Steve Kaufer is shown accepting the award at DesignCon 2010. This is not a throw-away … Read More

Yes, it’s official: I’m on twitter. Whoop de do! But…I’ll be posting some interesting tid bits this week from DesignCon (odd that every time I type that, I have to stop my fingers from typing “Comdex”. Some things die slowly I guess).
To follow me, add “MGCMark” to your twitter list…and tell me you’re there. It’s lonely so far.
Don’t forget to stop by the Mentor booth to register for a chance to … Read More

And you know what that means? DesignCon is next week.
I’ve probably been to a couple hundred trade shows in my career, and except for boat shows and fishing shows, I really can’t say I’ve been this excited to attend one in a long, long time! The panels that Leslie Van Grove put together will be very fun, and I’m especially looking forward to the SciFi panel. I know…I’m kind of running this topic … Read More

You’ll recall a couple of posts ago that Mentor is sponsoring what promises to be a very fun panel at DesignCon in less that two weeks. The panel, “Science Fiction; Is It Really Fiction” will be Tuesday afternoon.
We have arranged a unique opportunity as well. Following the panel, I will interview panel member Gentry Lee. Lee is chief engineer for the Planetary Flight Systems Directorate at the JPL, … Read More

In my last post, I alluded to some prizes that Mentor will be giving away at DesignCon 2010. We are giving away THREE of these great Planet HyperLynx leather jackets (unless I can get my hands on one; then it would be two!) These are great looking jackets that anyone would be happy to own.
But wait! You can’t buy these in any store. You must come by the Mentor Graphics booth at DesignCon and register … Read More
