Lynn Conway passed away this weekend. She was an electrical engineer whose professional work was instrumental in enabling virtually all modern semiconductor devices. She was fired from IBM, and lost her family for transitioning, and later came out and became an outspoken transgender activist.

Rest Easy, Lynn, the world is less for your absence.

Childhood memories. I had several of these Radio Shack X-in-one kits growing up, where you page through hundreds of projects and build them by connecting wires through little springs.

To be honest, I did not learn much circuit theory building these. But it sure planted the bug for being interested in electronics, and eventually computers
