Alan Kay... I saw him speak in college and I had to spend a semester working in Squeak.

I have a love/hate relationship with him. He's a great speaker, got some awesome quotes, but... every speech he gives revolves around the same concepts and he ALWAYS uses the example of drawing a car, drawing a steering wheel, and connecting them. Sure it's a good example but I mean, doing it for 10+ years as the example of the power of Squeak?
