Dan PortsI don't understand why everyone here isn't already talking about how James Mickens spent his sabbatical recording a metal album where all the band members are himself.
Ellis Michael@dan oh my god the photos. Just incredible.
James Corey
Royce Williams@dan There's "commitment to the bit" ... and then there's what James Mickens does.
Kensan@tychotithonus @dan Come to think of it: he might be the Conan O’Brien of Computer Science.
Steve Purcell@dan holy shit, I love his stuff and yet somehow missed this!
Janno@dan Amazing!
mhoye@dan I thought, for a fraction of a second, "is this really Mickens?" and then the opening sentence hit me in the eyes - "Ten Times Your Master is a band, a lifestyle, and a basic prerequisite for human flourishing." - and yeah that is unambiguously him.
Dan@dan omg, I had never heard of this genius, thank you! His Harvard pages are incredible
David Andersen@dan oh my god. Thank you, I don't know how I missed this.
@dan this needs to be the opening session intro music at the next NSDI.
0xC0DEC0DE07EA@dan "Black Sabbatical"?
Børge
James Young@dan because I know I'll want to find this later - #JamesMickens
