Hey that's the famous Clifford Stoll of Cuckoo's Egg fame.

Glad he is not famous only for that book. As fine as it is.

There are lots of projects that do this (implement a Klein bottle with a crossing).

Even my dad has knit several Klein bottle hats for fun, inspired by one of those projects. I got one as a Christmas present.
