Apr. 25th, 2006 09:27 pmWhy are so many hacker-types named Kevin?
We've got two at work. One's a Woz-esque prankster who nearly got expelled from high school for unauthorized access. The other's a long-haired Linux guy, whom I don't know much about, but I suspect he writes Perl poetry.
alt.religion.kibology has two Kevins, if you count M. Otis Beard, whose birth name was Kevin.
Celebrities abound as well. There's Kevin Mitnick, of course. There's Kevin Rose, who got his TV break by providing all the barely-legal tech tips in TechTV's heyday. There's Kevin Pereira, who doesn't earn much cred hosting G4's Attack of the Show, but ran a BBS when he was a kid, so I count him.
