He's brilliant, bonkers, and wonderful company. I spent a fantastic morning with him early last year (2024) and it was brilliant fun. I will for many, many years treasure my signed Klein Bottle and my signed copy of "The Cuckoo's Egg".
You're only 10 years older than me, and I'm hoping to be as active and engaged as you are for a long time to come ... you are a fantastic role model, especially with your interaction with, and inspiration of, the younger generation.
Long may it continue, and I hope to take you up on your invitation to visit again.
Reading his book as a kid was what got me into computers and networks. After some years I finally got a few of his bottles as gifts for my various mentors along the way (plus one for my desk as well.) He's a special human. I didn't know about the TED Talk; thanks, I'll check that out!
He wrote "The Cuckoo's Egg" which is a riveting tale, capable of entertaining nerds and non-nerds alike.
He sells glass Klein Bottles, huge, medium, tiny, earrings, and more.
He's given a TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj8IA6xOpSk
