Conversation Central rolls on
Posted by Karen B on July 15th, 2010
Just a brief update on Conversation Central, the online radio show that brings you interesting guests and topics, broadcast live and recorded for later listening. We introduced Conversation Central online at DAC 2010, and I’m delighted to report that as of today, there have been 1,511 listens to our 27 shows! They can all be found by going to the Conversation Central link.
The show with the most listens so far is “UVM: Verifying the Universe”, followed by “A New Era of SoC Design” and “Unconventional Blogging”. As you can see, there’s something for everyone on Conversation Central.
Our first post-DAC guest on Conversation Central will be Brian Fuller. He’s best known as the former Editor-in-Chief of EETimes and he’s now with Numetrics. He’s a wonderful guy, and his show is sure to be interesting. The 30-minute session will be held on July 22 at 11:00am Pacific time. To listen in, simply call within the US: toll free (877) 439-2972 or internationally: +1 (646) 200-4379 when the show starts. To ask Brian a question, just press 1 on your phone or Skype and we’ll put you on the air.
As always, I’m open for suggestions for guests and topics as Conversation Central rolls on.
















I can hardly believe it. I’ve been in the EDA business since 1980 when I joined TI’s Design Automation Department after graduating from Cal Poly with my BSEE. Since 1995, much of my attention has been focused on EDA standards. I reached a moment of truth this year when I admitted, albeit reluctantly, that I could be called a standards-lifer. So, I decided it’s time to share my perspectives on what’s going on in the standards arena. Welcome to my blog - I can’t wait to hear from you! 








I’m looking forward to this, work permitting. What’s the topic, so I can come up with a tough question
Hi Harry,
The topic will be a conversation with Brian about social media and engineers. Should be fun, especially since we expect a couple of interesting callers to join us – you included!
