I was lucky enough to have a long email conversation with him around 10 years back. That was where he shared the bet with Widlar. He actually contacted me, because he worked out that (feel sorry for my wife at this point) I am a Tektronix test gear collector and restorer as a hobby. The conversation moved progressively to AI, which he was agnostic about - but he reckoned the future was in Augmented Reality, where embedded computer systems would elevate our processing power and intellect. And here we are thinking 5G is a shiny new thing... A hell of a thinker was Barrie Gilbert.

This album is a fantastic piece of art. Heavy gothic folk rock/metal. Get on it.

some new(ish) stuff that's been on repeat for me: Mizmor - Cairn Chrch - Light Will Consume Us All Vanum - Ageless Fire Vukari - Aevum Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race general theme of the first four is a great sense of atmosphere. i'd find it hard to categorize any of them in a specific subgenre (well i guess mizmor and chrch are pretty solidly doom). blood incantation is just incredible. best pure death metal going right now.

Quite good! Dig. Me: digging Landskap’s doomy III

Look what showed up today... Maximum Impact – D_Drive – the best in classical Japanese metal guitar. I'm sure Bill and Ted would find it... Excellent!

Not a person, but I just heard that Ozzie the cat died last night. His antics were the stuff of legend: There was a time when if you did a GIS for "Where is your god meow?" this image was the top result.
