wisdom speech link?

Could we get a link to the 'life changing' wisdom speech referred to early on in the interview?

Many thanks to all for what was a fascinating and inspiring interview and best of luck to Patrick in his battle.

Thanks Gary

Thank you Gary for countless hours of fun over the years and the priceless gift of keeping in touch with my inner child.

Remembering the Commodore SX-64

luggable is cool

wow. I remember seeing these when I was a kid and wanting one so bad. Didn't have any need for it, but the luggable form factor automatically scores major kit fetish points. Important military/scientist types would need something like this in the field... hmmm.. I wonder if someone sells something like this with todays power. Say a luggable rack type thing.. 8 cores, 4Tb raid, many Gb ram.... oh yeah.... hmm too much coffee this morning must lie down...

Space brains resign over efforts to attract ET attention

hmm..

..paints a picture of a universe full of sentient life but everyone attempting to remain stealthed (planet sized faraday cage perhaps?) because they are scared that the next race over might drop by and eat/mate/probe/shave them. And that's why the SETI guys are wasting their time.

also... isn't beaming out "fancy a fight / hello sailor etc." a kind of attempted "death by cop" or rather "genocide by alien bastard".. can't we all sue them for reckless endangerment?
