I spoke to this really nice guy for like 10-15 minutes before the finals. I talked to him about his judging experience, Israel and others. Then, he gave me a short lesson on his Segway and let me ride around a little. All I can remember is that his name tag said "Steve Wozniak". Thanks to Greg needel for telling me who he is a few days later.
Ed - I'll in NY and Pennsylvania all summer, so a flight to Israel won't be necessary
( About 10 seconds before they announced the winner I let out a loud "one eleven" (didn't want to scream it too loud because I was right on the field next to all the important people). Once John Abele announced it, I was so amazed that i was able to predict the winner. )
