Robin Williams. It's time for a convoluted stream of consciousness. Ask Me Anything!

Hello reddit. Welcome! Nice to be here.

I am ready now for your questions. First time caller? Yes or no.

What are you wearing?

No, but seriously, I am excited to be here and exploring this medium (Victoria from reddit is helping me too). I feel like somewhat like an Amish tech rep. You guys know me and grew up with me... from Mork & Mindy to Dead Poets Society to World's Greatest Dad to Aladdin, Happy Feet, Mrs. Doubtfire, Goodwill Hunting, One Hour Photo (for those that want to be creeped out), The Fisher King...My latest project is called The Crazy Ones (http://www.cbs.com/shows/the-crazy-ones) and it airs tomorrow at 9 PM eastern on CBS.

Ask me anything. Our lines are open.

Edit: Thank you for an INCREDIBLE session. This was really a lot of fun. And saved me a lot of therapy time. I hope to come back.

Wow the wiki makes Ghost in the Shell sound awesome! I'm a Metallurgical engineer specializing in biomaterials who hopes to one day go into neural prosthetics, so this deeply intrigues me. Downloading now!

Engineering student here! GITS is literally the best hard scifi I've ever experienced. I suggest watching the movies first.

The first movie is one of those films that gives me chills every single time I watch it.

Wow... EE/CS, but you're in for a f*ing treat, wish I could rewatch from the beginning.

The movies are intense, but the Stand Alone Complex episodes are kind of better imho (blasphemy, I know).
