Cool. Just curious, how do you think to profile some of these people and how do you find out about them? Are you driving along and sitting at a traffic light and wonder who invented this? Or hear about 'Bertie the Brain' and wonder who invented it?
Sometimes it's sitting in traffic, sometimes it's a Wikipedia rabbit hole. This time, it was reading a book, "Ready Player One", which claimed "Spacewar" is the first video game ever. Had to look it up, and it turned out that's not exactly right...
