Dear Robert,
I've spent most of my life around talented and gifted people, I clearly see you are one. I think there is an amazing future for you, but in all honesty, I don't think you've expanded to all the places that would appreciate you the most.
For example - Hal could revolutionize games on steam, I was just telling a game developer / forum - Space Engineers
that if they incorporated your software into their game, this would be hands free gaming in addition to being able to talk to your game and train it. - that game has already sold 1 million units and is a top 10 game on Steam, and get this, the game is in Alpha!
In summary, just because the mass population has not discovered your amazing talents, doesn't make you any less a star worthy of respect and recognition with your achievements.
I can't hope you will win, because I know without a doubt you will win, once you are in a better public spotlight.
Bring Hal to steam and make an SDK so gamers can incorporate your work into, mostly sandbox games I'm thinking.
You are a star, I have zero doubts about this.
I also say this professionally, having spent most of my life in entertainment with a significant history of projects I've worked on.

I can't help coming back to this forum, because it's like a beacon of talent, passion and skill that very few know about ...I simply enjoy being around this much talent. You guys have it.

I can think of a ton of ideas that would put you on the charts fast .....gaming .......hal could make a blog ....with a plug in that searches for latest news ....that alone would attract a ton of views.... the possibilities are endless!
From the bottom of my heart, nothing would make me happier than to see a person of your level of passion and skill succeed in a very big way.......I've seen enough no talent people climb the ladder of success .....and I'd like to see the true talents of the world succeed for a change. You are one of those true talents.

and who am i to say all this ?
a legend in my own mind, I'm going around tapping the nice people I've found after doing an insane amount of research as to what revolutionary and entertaining really is. I have this crazy idea of thinking that I know talent when I see it, if only i could get the right people to meet each other it would make something revlutionary worth writing in history, and maybe I can write a song and make a video for it as a theme!
Other's try putting together music bands, i dont need a band, what i need is a show! lol. Research shows that great stories are the strongest point of any successful product!
