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.

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.
