I met him around the same time and we did the conference circuit together for a fair few years.

I vividly remember being sucked into his craziness more than a few times in my formative years!

A fun, welcoming guy and an incredible technologist.



> being sucked into his craziness

Just curious what was he like in terms of the craziness? Partying? Skydiving?


My experience was the partying. He seemed to have boundless energy for it and it was infectious.

I remember arriving at a conference with serious jet lag and just wanting to sleep. I grabbed dinner with a few of the other speakers and Bob's energy was enough to turn dinner into drinks and drinks into skipping the whole night's sleep.


Certainly partying. But also unpredictable (good unpredictable) and creative in unexpected ways. Good crazy.
