I only want to meet JVN because he owe me a dinner ;-).

Most other names I see on other's list I've met in the past year from Nationals, or regionals, or IRI. Doesn't mean it won't be GREAT seeing them again. The only problem is, I am notorious for being the quiet one at competition, mostly because I usually only get 2-4 hours of sleep every night and work from 7am in the morning to 6pm in the evening at competition. The lack of sleep and stress from the day usually drive my english speaking skills at least 5 years back.

Few people I have to pay my respect to:

Rich Wong
Libby Ritchie
Don Knight
Andy Grady

Those are the people I really wanted to keep in touch with but can't because I've been so busy lately.

Others, I don't want to just meet. I want to actually hang out with them with all the time I can get in Atlanta.

I'm sorry to say that I most likely won't be making it to nationals . If the weather is good, I might fly down for one day - we'll see. To make things more complicated, I'm leaving for a business trip to Europe the afternoon of Sunday, April 18. Therefore, if I do go, I need to be back early.

I hope to see everyone at the IRI.

Well I finally made my list. Possibly as a confirmation of the formidability of the Archimedes division, it turns out that there are more Archimedians on my list than Newtonians, Galileans and Curieans COMBINED!

[maikull]

Did anyone meet Steve Wozniak? He was listed as a judge in the official program, but try as I may, I didn't see him anywhere.

I saw him once, I believe he was a judge on the Galileo field.

[maikull]

Nuts. I was partially hoping it would be that he didn't show, rather than that I missed him. Thanks for letting me know, though.

[phrontist]

Man, I hope The Woz is at nats this year!

At VCU last year I heard the name Donald Knuth, and I thought it was the Donald Knuth. I asked someone official looking and they kindly informed me I was mistaken. Would have been cool though...

Any other big names known to drop by FIRST competitions except Woz?

[Pin Man]

There are so many people I gotta meet before I graduate this year... I met Woody last year (though I met him when I was younger in 97)... Dean is my number one!!!

[Kyle Love]

Arefin
Dori
Elgin
JVN (again)
Rich Wong
Beth
Karthik
Jake
and there's more to be revealed later....will you be on the list??? haha
