Starting Your Own Blog (You Can Do It!)
Last time we talked about how to read a Web log, better known as a “blog.” It’s basically a Web site that gets updated frequently, usually at least weekly, if not daily or more often.

The ultimate hotdogging trick is to surf inside the pipeline. Well, microprocessors grew up in California too. Both Intel and AMD are located in Silicon Valley, and in their products “doin’ the pipeline” is gnarly too.
We are working our way through the history of microprocessors so we can understand what the latest new features are, what gives a performance boost, and what is just marketing hype.
