* [http://xkcd.com/ Randall Munroe ] - programmer/math geek/xkcd creator/all-around genius. His Authors@Google talk was pretty entertaining, and he seems like the kind of guy who would put some effort into surprising and engaging the crowd he's talking to. -ksclarke
* [http://diveintoaccessibility.org/ Mark Pilgrim ] - He knows (real world, not necessarily library) standards about as well as anyone and advocates strongly for what's simple and practical (check out his work on Atom and HTML5), but he's also an advocate for doing what's right even when it's not necessarily easy.
