This reminds me of a hobby I've been meaning to start: Collecting autographs of a lot of these famous people in computing (bonus points if it's on an item they created/developed). Seems like it'd make for cool decor in any hacker's room/cubicle/space.
Last autumn when I was visiting Apple I saw Steve Jobs in the dining place thingy. I had just bought a new iPhone earlier that week and I was SO close to going over and asking him to sign it.
I'd think i'd have the courage to go talk to the president of the united states or prime minister in the uk. However I'd don't think have the courage to talk to jobs.
Sometime between now and when Duke Nukem ships, my game GeekStack will be the game you're looking for. I've reached out to Steven to see if there's any chance we swap notes.
Does your game have a website or anything I can track? I play a few times a month with a group of people into things like that, and I'd like to keep abreast of this.
