Comment on Penn Jillette’s Surprising Success as a Computer Columnist

Comments

One of his buddies is Rob Pike.

I once got to have dinner with Penn and Rob Pike years ago. I had no idea at the time who Pike was. Looked him up afterwards (this was pre-Wikipedia) and felt like an idiot.

Everyone needs to be taken down a peg from time to time.

I knew someone who rode the Monorail in Seattle next to Jeff Bezos. No idea who he was, even after he introduced himself. Told others they "met someone named Jeff Bozos on the train."

Yep, that sounds about right.

Another is Randy Pitchford.
