George Keremedjiev

I spent six weeks at MSU Bozeman this past Summer integrating a performance-boosting, wide-area network-distributed database enhancement to an augmented reality project sponsored through the Western Transportation Institute there. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the museum, which is a couple of blocks from WTI, and I was working some weekend and Summer time into my schedule to volunteer there. However, with George?s passing, that means I?ll need to step up even more, despite the 6.5-hour round trip from where I?m teaching STEM, including computing and robotics. I started as one of the early senior docents at the Computer History Museum when it was in the uninsulated metal Butler buildings across from Hangar One at Moffett Field. Then I participated in the move to its current location in Silicon Graphics? former international marketing building on North Shoreline Blvd, followed by the opening of the R|Evolution exhibit. I then worked on the exhibition of Babbage Difference Engine Design Number Two, Serial Number Two, which I presented, operated, and maintained. That?s real vintage computing, where the operator isn?t just the power supply, but also provides critical timing as the clock, cranking steadily despite a change in required force from a few pounds up to about 25 pounds during each cycle!
