I thought you wore that steampunk hat in your profile picture all the time. I was shocked to see you weren’t wearing it in that photo!!

Of course 😌. PS: I’d be more than interested in the podcast thing.

I want to see all of it! From collaborative pieces to podcasts and fiction.

If you keep your fiction, science-accurate, I'd definitely even want that more. That's something I really miss in most fiction, maybe except Dr Stone, which I really love. It's also a great avenue for (light-touch and introductory) education without too much stress on the reader.

I've been looking at quant. psychology and AI recently, would be happy to collaborate on that if that piques your interest.

Congratulations on 1K!!

I really like the podcast idea and I hope to see your next post about history of computer science.

Have you ever considered make videos for YouTube?

Write fiction, but don't set your stories in the future... Take any historical event and place your fictional characters there.

Congratulations! Subscribed (now that I have more time to read!)! Love your story. Congratulations on the children, parenting is such a wonderful life!

Yes, write fiction, I like Psychological thrillers. Good luck!

Let's talk about metal. Do you like any older stuff? Sabbath, older Metallica, Venom... what kind of stuff are you into?

And: congrats, dude! Let's work on something together soon.

I was lured into heavy metal with iron maiden and they're still my favourite band. Then of course Metallica, Sabbath, Deep Purple, ..., but Maiden is on another level.

Nice! We should talk about this more. I've listened to a LOT of metal over the years, most of it older than 25 years or so.

Recommend me some hidden gems!

Oh man, "hidden" is relative. Do you like thrash? How about punk?

One perhaps somewhat lesser known band is The Accused (or very, very well known, depending on your circles). Anything "Martha Splatterhead" is great music.

Any of Slayer's first five or six records is mind-blowing. Let me know a direction and we can head that way.

Gotta bookmark and listen to these to let you know :)

Similarity with the older Iron Maiden is my best indicator...
