Hi, I'm Dick Lyon. I am a research engineer in Silicon Valley, California.

Some of my work prior to Wikipedia is linked on my new tech home page dicklyon.com.

The right column shows some pix I've uploaded, with links to pages that use them

[edit] History bug

I've been bitten by the history bug, so I've researched the history of several topics, and added history sections, comments, or links, to articles, such as these:

[edit] Movie-star friend

My friend Wally Rippel, long-time electric car maker and winner of the first transcontinental electric car race of 1968, is one of the stars of this new (June 2006) documentary. I got to see a free screening of it, hosted by my friend Alec who provided some of the footage for the movie. I recommend it highly for the range of inside viewpoints that it provides on energy and transportation issues.

[edit] Contributions to the Wikipedia

My contributions are mostly related to photography, photometry, and signal processing so far. My contributions on these articles range from very small to total rewrite; see the respective article histories.
