One of the leaders memorialized in the Wired Enterprise article 11 Who Died in 2011 (And Were Not Named Steve) is Ashawna Hailey, who first shook Silicon Valley as a microprocessor architect who led AMD's development of the Am9080, AMD's clone of the 8080, then went on to co-develop HSPICE, back when she was known as Shawn.
A somewhat more substantial memorial is here; Wikipedia coverage is here.
I have ot say, I almost flagged one of the comments...
Thinking that the person in question was speaking about the Ashawna her self, but when I took a look at the ear-rings in question, I have to admit that I veary nearly made a grab for the brain bleach.
Either way, thank you for sharing this with us. Fashion of the individual in question aside, it is appreciated by me, at least.
Peace be with you and Blessed be
