People I want to meet

There’s a lot of people I would enjoy meeting in person. My list has been changing over time, and some of the ones I had some hope of meeting passed away. Here’s a list, in the hope that they’ll see it and at least get curious to meet me also ;-).

May happen soon

  1. Amber MacArthur, from CommandN and net@night. Her shows are awesome, and through her I became a fan of The Guild, with Felicia Day.

May happen some day

  1. Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist, and The Logic of Life.
  2. Leo Laporte, the Tech guy. Big fan of his show.
  3. Sarah Lane (maybe Martin Sargent?) from This Week in Fun. At first she seemed to be like an extremely high maintenance chick. But now I enjoy the TWIF show in almost a masochistic way.
  4. Andy Ihnatko, just ’cause he seems like a fun wacky guy.

Will probably never happen

  1. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple. I wouldn’t know what to tell him, especially after what I heard on TWiT 212. I give him money, he gives my great products. Let’s leave it at that.
  2. Steve Wozniak (the Woz) (In fact I rubbed shoulders with him when I went to hear him speak on Aug 19 2009, at the Brookstreet hotel in Kanata, Ontario, Canada).
  3. Eddie Vedder, the voice behind Pearl Jam.
  4. Stephen Fry, Comedian, Author and active twitterer/blogger.

Famous People I could have met

  1. Donald Sutherland. We shared a flight from Toronto to Washington, DC one time.
  2. Bob Rae. Got into an elevator with him at the Ottawa airport.

    Heh, nice. You are officially the first Leo fan I personally know – besides me of course…
