Mike Beltzner is Not a Robot

Readers of this blog will probably recognize the name Mike Beltzner as one of the key figures behind the creation of Firefox 3, not to mention a proud Canadian and contributor of some really good ideas to our little robot saga.

But, although Mike is closely associated with Firefox 3, I’d like to take this opportunity to make it clear that he is not, in fact, a robot. Just in case there was any confusion on that…

Yeah, I saw him wearing a shirt that claimed that he wasn’t a robot the other day too, but I’m not so sure I believe it. How else could he possibly get so much done?

So that’s why beltzner can answer *any* question about Fx3 — the total recall subsystem upgrade last fall must have done the trick.

As I recall someone tried to hack him over IRC a while back:

I’m still skeptical. I think he might be some sort of android/robot.

. . . or is it all just a clever ploy to cloak his true identity??

Naaaah, it’s obvious that Bletzner is not a robot… it’s a droid! It’s shaped as a human!

And those NSID pics were just a bad paint job …
