   Just agreed to do the opening keynote for a conference in Amsterdam later in the year. Trying to get them to use “Human Being” as my role/title. Let’s see how that goes… :)

     I'm currently writing book four of a series where one of the characters is named Asher, short for Autonomous Simulated Human Exploration Robot. 1936 Dieselpunk, where he crashed on earth in 1916 and the fire burned off all his psuedo-flesh, leaving only metal. He is "The Man with No Face."

     @aral yes! Very nice!

     Which conference? Fronteers or Drupaljam/Drupalcon by any chance? (I remember you talking at a Drupalcon keynote like over 10 years ago. 🤔)
