In a homage to my favorite "blogger", Bob Pease I am titling my first entry on electronic design after his famous catch phrase. If you aren't familiar with Bob's work, he has been writing his own form of Blog (heretofore known as a Column) Pease Porrige in the pages of Electronic Design Magazine for some 18 years.

Bob has forgotten more about analog design than I or most engineers will ever know. Starting out at Philbrick Researches in the early 1960's designing discreet transistor Op-Amps , Bob later moved to National Semiconductor where he remains today, responsible for many of their analog product designs in production for over 2 decades. He brings his years of analog design expertise to his articles with a lot of humor and anecdotes of dealing with customers, management and technical problems for almost 40 years. I encourage you to go look at the article archive which contains his articles dating back to 1990. Bob is also the host of a video webcast called Analog By Design produced by National Semiconductor available in both streaming video and podcast form.
