Me, a ham radio HT, and a bomb This is me, doing a little ad-hoc EMI (electromagnetic interference) testing. Taken sometime in the late 1980s in Dayton, OH.
Me, a cat, and a laser pointer This is me, infringing US Patent 5,443,036. In case you don't already believe that the US patent office is staffed with utterly clueless and incompetent idiots and that patent lawyers rival nuclear weapons as implements of indiscriminate mass destruction, check out my page on patent policy.
This was taken at the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association convention in San Francisco in March 1997. Qualcomm hired John DeLancie and Brent Spiner, well known for their roles in Star Trek: The Next Generation, to promote two new Qualcomm products: the "Q-phone", and the CDMA packet data services I helped develop. ("Q" and "Data" - get it?) I managed to get my boss to snap this picture toward the end of their appearance when they'd run out of photos to autograph and the lines had dwindled.

I then exchanged places with Franklin, snapped a shot of him and had his secretary send a copy to his mom.
