William Gibson, the cyberpunk-ish writer of Neuromancer fame, came to Palo Alto for a book signing. Of course, many a geek, including myself and a couple of friends decided to attend. He is an interesting guy - he obviously likes to write, and likes to write in a futuristic techie setting, but is not enamored with technology and prefers to keep it limited in his everyday life. In fact, he was surprised / amused when I asked him to sign the case of my Palm Pilot personal organizer, and then my friends proceeded to get their PowerBooks signed by him. We also got books signed, but that was purely secondary. Here is a pictorial testimonial of myself, Tantek, and Steve getting our stuff signed by WG himself...
