Gio retired from full time active service at Stanford 30 June 2001.
He continues to teach, with the help of Shirley Tessler and Avron Barr, the
Spring quarter Freshman seminar of `Business on the Internet',
now numbered CS73N.
However, he will not take on new students or assistants, and not participate
actively in new research projects.
He will be available to help with the dissemination of prior work.
Gio is actively consulting now, mainly on issues related to IP valuation. A result of this work was published in the Comm.of the ACM, September 2006 issue.
Voy and Gio are still developing and maintaining the Historic Computer Displays at Stanford in the Gates Information Science building.
Colleagues, current and former students donated a bench in
San Francisco's Mountain Lake Park in appreciation.
It is located just north of the intersection of Lake or California street
and 12th Avenue, and has a view of the lake, the trees of the Presidio,
the drive to the Golden Gate bridge (CA Highway 1), and the adjoining playground
(SF

At the end of 2006 Gio finally got around to a planned retirement project, restoring
a 1953 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire saloon he bought in 1960, but mangeled in late 1963, to roadworthiness

First Drive out

with the garage smoke alarm buzzing (32 seconds); or from
at Stanford Infolab (much slower).
and, after some cleaning, back into the garage (38 seconds)
or from

(I had a hard time getting that video loaded directly from YouTube.
But if you just go to YouTube and enter
"Um23Tjjtt00" for the driving out video or "68HiMAcxYxc" for the returning into the garage video into the search box,
you should get it.)
