Don McMillan (MS 1982 EE)

I don’t want to say that Berkeley is “under funded”, but when the Cal football team somehow manages to win the Ax, their facilities people actually use it.

TECHNICALLY FUNNY

Tech comedian finds laughter in logic, absurdity in analysis

As a professional engineer turned professional comedian Don McMillan (MS 1982 EE) is pretty much one of a kind. A lot of people use Powerpoint, but only McMillan’s slides are intentionally funny (samples are at www.technicallyfunny.com) A lot of comedians make jokes about their spouses and the opposite sex, but only McMillan’s jokes are explicitly in the context of thermodynamics or optimization. After years designing logic circuits, he found his true calling and traded silicon for silly.
