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
- 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
- Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist, and The Logic of Life.
- Leo Laporte, the Tech guy. Big fan of his show.
- 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.
- Andy Ihnatko, just ’cause he seems like a fun wacky guy.
Will probably never happen
- 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.
- 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).
- Eddie Vedder, the voice behind Pearl Jam.
- Stephen Fry, Comedian, Author and active twitterer/blogger.
Famous People I could have met
- Donald Sutherland. We shared a flight from Toronto to Washington, DC one time.
- Bob Rae. Got into an elevator with him at the Ottawa airport.

I would definitely like to meet Steve Jobs one day.

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