I'd be really interested in seeing what you are working on and making
deadlines for. I see your lecture was not released yet, and I'm
interested in seeing it. Your working in the middle of a revolution of
understanding, and you should be very excited. Do you have specifics as
to who is working on this problem. I'm just starting on learning the
basics of all this. The more you learn, the more you find you need to
learn.

I wonder if I can get a grant for that purpose. The problem is that
everything is locked into proprietary software and patented file
formats. So much more can be done if we would free all of this. I'm
going to cc this to a few friends and see if they are aware of anyone
working on this.

Is that the guy who shoots youtube videos with the cute 17 year old

I'm really happy to have met you. Your a good man Charlie Brown. Are
you looking for a new position?
