Cliff Stoll DEFINITELY has The Knack! And he Kluges!
The Maker Blog has a nice article on Cliff Stoll, the author of "Silicon Snake Oil" and "The Cuckoo's Egg." I liked Cliff's books and included quotes from them in "SolderSmoke -- Global Adventures in Wireless Electronics." I was glad to see that Cliff is doing well and still tinkering. Be sure to check out the video on his R/C fork lift. FB OM.
I was, of course, very intrigued by the slide showing the symbol of the "KlugeMeisters of America." Can we get a pronunciation ruling from Cliff? Can we nominate people for induction into the KMA?
