I think you might like ferrouswheel and tatjna. He's just completed his PhD defense, and is working on OpenCog when he's not experimenting with shiny things and music. Among other things (like working for the government), she shears sheep and does fire hooping (probably not at the same time) and I find her musings about pretty much everything thought-provoking. The two are also recently encoupled :-)

I really ought to meet them in person someday, rather than just having huge numbers of mutual acquaintances.

On a slightly more international luminary scale, there's Dr. Tom Furness. He's a virtual reality pioneer from back when he was working for the USAF, and nowadays his focus is more on using technologies to solve some of the world's problems in medicine, industrial design and education (among other fields). His research lab has turned out a bunch of interesting spin-off companies over the years, including Microvision and ARToolworks.

Well, there's *you*. I'm not entirely sure what you do, I don't know how you do it and I don't know why it matters to me but it matters a lot. I can't think of anyone else who even comes close. Kind of useless, I guess.

Useless meaning *I* am useless, not you.

Also useless meaning "Hey Duncan, there's an 'edit' button on these things. Maybe you should have used that, eh?"

Yes! I joined the Seattle DIYbio group about a week ago.
