房子底下藏着一千个克莱因瓶的人
The man with 1,000 klein bottles under his house [video]
2015 — 2021，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这是 Cliff Stoll 的视频：这位因《杜鹃蛋》闻名的传奇人物在自家地下室储存并手工销售上千个克莱因瓶，还自建了迷你机器仓库和遥控叉车来管理库存。视频展现了他把好奇心和热情活成生活方式的样子。
为什么经久不衰：它经久不衰是因为 Cliff Stoll 展示了纯粹由内在驱动力支撑的人生可以多有趣——这种近乎'活体卡通'的极客热情在两个年代都打动人心。

亲历者证实视频中的热情并非表演，Stoll 是真实如此生活的人
几年前我去 Cliff 家买了一个克莱因瓶送父亲。他和视频里一样热情好客，我本想拿了瓶子付完钱就走，结果聊了大约45分钟——聊地下储藏室、聊机器人、聊人生。他谈起当年放弃大好前程，只为和妻子把孩子们的生活过得精彩。他是我见过活得最开心的人，证明了完全靠内在驱动力也能在现实世界里活得很好。瓶子本身也确实很酷。

I went to Cliff's house a few years back to buy one of his bottles as a gift for my dad. He was just as effusive, welcoming, and excited for one visitor he'd never met as he was in the video. I thought I was just swinging by to pick up the bottle and pay the check, but I ended up staying for about 45 minutes (because he just kept going!), chatting about the crawlspace, the robot, and life in general. He talked about eschewing a big career so that he and his wife could focus on making life great for their kids. And it certainly seemed to have paid off for both kids and dad: I've never met anyone who seemed to be having so damned much fun just existing. It was refreshing to see that it's totally possible to be driven almost entirely by intrinsic factors and still exist in the real world. He left an impression as being an all-around fantastic human being. The bottle was pretty cool, too.
迷你机器人仓库是全片最令人惊叹的部分
他家地下爬行空间里那个迷你机器人仓库是我很久以来见过最酷的东西。纯粹的蒸馏疯狂科学。他就像一个活生生的卡通人物，我老了以后太想成为他这样的人了！

His tiny robotic warehouse in the crawlspace of his house is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Pure distilled mad science. He's like a living cartoon. I want to be him when I get old so very much!
补充背景：主角是《杜鹃蛋》作者，并附上其克莱因瓶商店链接
这位是 Cliff Stoll（附维基百科链接）。我书架上就有他当年的书《杜鹃蛋》，出版时非常精彩。他的克莱因瓶公司网站在这里。

网购体验印证了 Stoll 对每位顾客都倾注个人热情
看完视频后我在 Cliff Stoll 的网站买了一个克莱因瓶。他不仅立刻发货（包装非常仔细），还寄来了打包过程的照片、克莱因瓶在他花园里的写真，以及一封（很搞笑的）个人感谢信。他对克莱因瓶的极客式热情真的很鼓舞人心。

I bought a Klein Bottle from Cliff Stoll's website after seeing this video. Not only did he immediately pack it up and send it (very carefully packaged!), he sent along photos of the process, some glamor shots of the Klein bottle in his garden, and a (funny) personal note thanking me for the order. His nerdy passion for the Klein bottles is really inspiring. https://www.kleinbottle.com/
