I'm pretty sure I say this every time Cliff Stoll is mentioned on HN, but one of my goals in life is to be as excited about something as Cliff is about everything.
... naturally, I'm a day late to this note. All the same, it's worth mentioning that I feel like I'm a member of the HN tribe, although it's been many years since I"ve really done much creative hacking. All the same, I deeply appreciate the kindness & joy that HN people pass along. Oh, there are a still few niches where techno-oddballs are appreciated.
And four days later, the conic loaf of bread video Brady just posted is perhaps the best example yet of the level of excitement that I'm shooting for pretty much anywhere in my life (and you've found it in bread...)
