**Hi.** I'm Joshua Wise, and this is my web site.  I'm an engineer of varying sorts; most recently, I have been working as an ASIC architect, but also exciting to me is programming language theory, as well as the concepts behind various physical engineering challenges. Periodically I build things that I'm excited to share; one of the things that I'm proudest of is [[projects#virtexsquared|VirtexSquared]], a system-on-chip on a Virtex-5.  (For more on my work, see the [[projects]] section of my site.)  In 2011, I graduated from [[http://www.cmu.edu|Carnegie Mellon University]] with an M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering; originally, I'm from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland,_Massachusetts|Wayland, Massachusetts]].  I currently do hardware consulting work as part of [[https://accelerated.tech|Accelerated Tech]] ([[https://joshua0.dreamwidth.org/65850.html|more personal thoughts on that!]]), and previously, I worked as an ASIC architect at [[http://www.nvidia.com/|NVIDIA Corporation]] (more exciting information on what's coming next, soon!); I live in Mountain View, CA.  And, since October 2015, I hold an [[https://www.yogaalliance.org/TeacherPublicProfile?tid=128631|RYT 200]] accreditation by way of the [[http://www.yogajill.com/events.html|Bindu Yoga Teacher Training]] program, and you can find me [[http://planetgranite.com/sv/calendar/category/yoga/|occasionally teaching at Planet Granite in Sunnyvale]].

This site tends towards the more structured (and more static...) side of things, but for some of the other things that I think about and write about a little more spontaneously, you might want to [[https://joshua0.dreamwidth.org|check out my weblog]], where I also write a little more personally than I do here.  Below, perhaps, you'll find some of what I consider to be the "greatest hits", sorted roughly in chronological order.  I hope you enjoy!

  * //January, 2018// -- [[http://joshuawise.com/photos/etc/michead/|Upgrading a BitHead, Part 2]]: adding a microphone in to a headphones amp.
  * //2018, 2017, 2016, ...// -- [[https://joshua0.dreamwidth.org/tag/music|Years in review, in terms of music I'd listened to]].
  * //2017// -- Various [[https://joshua0.dreamwidth.org/tag/climbing|trip reports from climbing adventures]]. 
  * //April, 2016// -- A discussion of [[http://joshuawise.com/photos/etc/yogurt/|how to make yogurt at home]].
  * //August, 2014// -- An article on [[projects:ndfslave|recovering data from an SD card that I snapped in half]].
  * //November, 2012// -- Wrote and open-sourced [[horndis|HoRNDIS]], an Android USB tethering driver for Mac OS X.
  * //September, 2012// -- Published [[solving-hard-problems|On Solving Hard Problems]] (over in the [[content|words]] section).
  * //July, 2011// -- Migrated this site to be backed by DokuWiki, and joined the 21st century in using CSS.  Readability is probably drastically improved.
  * //May, 2009// -- [[https://joshua0.dreamwidth.org/25045.html|A post-mortem on a "near-data loss" event.]]
  * //May, 2007// -- It may not surprise you to hear that in high school, I was about as big of a nerd as I am now, and as such, I wrote [[http://joshuawise.com/blurb-1.scale.jpg|a chunk of C as a neat trick]] in my yearbook blurb.  But, of course, in transcribing it, I made an error, so if you came here from that, you should remove the right-parenthesis that is the third to last character, and the first underscore in the third line (''"_GMCE''...).  It should then compile (and execute) properly.  (I am still kind of proud of that.)

Of course, if you're looking for anything else, don't hesitate to [[contact|e-mail me]]!  Thanks for stopping by.
