Sun Microsystems sponsored his Bikelab starting in 1990! Here's a link to issue 1 from December 9, 1990: https://microship.com/behemoth-bikelab-security-dipole/ https://microship.com/behemoth-bikelab-security-dipole/ And his intro announcement that I saved, and of course I subscribed to his fascinating Nomandness mailing list -- such fun times: In article <65315@newstop.EBay.Sun.COM>, Dec 6, 1990, wordy@Corp (Steven K. Roberts) writes: Hi... Are you interested in ongoing reports from the bikelab here at Sun? I am working around-the-clock on BEHEMOTH (the successor to the 16,000-mile-old Winnebiko), a 350-pound recumbent bicycle with satellite earth station, GPS satnav, handlebar keyboard with thumb mouse, ultrasonic head mouse, SPARC IPC for CAD and mapping and file-serving, Hypertalk user interface to the trio of FORTH real-time systems, heads-up display on the PC LAN, biketop publishing environment, complete ham radio station, micro ecurity sensors, 54 speeds, regenerative and hydraulic braking, refrigeration and active helmet cooling system, speech synthesis and recognition, audio crosspoint network, MIDI, CDROM drive, 82 watts of solar panels, amateur television station, portable R&D lab, RF packet data link between manpack and bike, stereo, extensive camping gear, and so on. Sun has become a major sponsor, providing workspace and facilities here on the Mt. View campus, and my job is to disseminate diverse information on bizarre human interfaces, portability, packaging, wireless networking, and the underlying nomadness that has kept the whole project alive for 7 years. To facilitate publication of technical reports on the project, I have started an alias called Nomadness. If you'd like to receive ongoing updates, subscribe by sending a note to: nomadness-request@bikelab.Corp Thanks, and cheers from the unixycle lab! Steve Roberts N4RVE x65037
