I don’t have many heroes, but Donald Knuth is definitely one of them. I bought my copy of Fundamental Algorithms in 1973, and I’m still reading. I especially like his little side trip (10 years) to write TeX and METAFONT.

I’ve always been a fan of short films and animation (I spent a lot of time watching MTV’s Liquid TV), I think I’m going to like IFILM. So far I like 405 and Safetyman.
