The Mark Weiser Memorial Site pays tribute to the energy and vision of Mark Weiser, Chief Technologist at Xerox PARC, and a leading figure in modern computer science. By making available information about his life and work, links to other material on the Web, and especially by giving his colleagues and friends an opportunity to permanently record their thoughts, the site recognizes the many contributions Mark made to the intellectual life and daily practice of computing.... The site will be maintained for an extended period, and all of its contents will be placed as a permanent record in SiliconBase. Even after the site is inactive, it will be available in a Web-accessible form. A small number of CDs of the site will also be published.... Those who knew Mark, as well as those who admired or were influenced by his work, are invited to share your memories in our Forum. There, we have provided space for remembering his career and professional achievements, his ideas about ubiquitous computing, and his life in general" (excerpted from website).
