[penguicon-general] GoH / Nifty Idea

[Steve Gutterman]

I'm sure nobody's heard of this person, but it doesn't matter, because it's
just too cool to resist.
I want to suggest Thiago Olson be a Nifty or even a GoH in 2007.

Why?

Because he's 17 years old, and he built a NUCLEAR FUSION REACTOR in his
basement!  Which, you have to admit, is way cooler even than running Linux
on a dead badger.  And even better than the guy a couple years back that
built a supercomputer out of interconnect PS2s.  And Thiago actually lives
in Michigan, so he'd be a *cheap* guest!

Maybe he can even bring the reactor in.  Imagine basking by the pool in the
warm blue light of Cherenkov radiation...

evenings in the cellar at CBS's 'black rock' (headquarters) wearing a cape
and playing a pipe-organ upon which he pounds out Teutonic funereal dirges
while singing about how he will one day eat Karl Rove's heart." -- Jonah
