What's your claim to fame?

i WAS "famous" in the tech community under a different nice/identity back in the mid-to-late 90's but i dropped off the face of the internet earth from around mid-1999 till about 2003...no, i'm not going to give out my old nick and i'm not going to talk about what made me "famous"

[samureye]

I'm not famous, I had a blog that was extremely popular when TechTV/G4 merged, I kept people updated on exactly what went on, it was great, amazed me how popular it got, but I stopped blogging, I'm looking for something new, a blog network perhaps.

Also, I'm not in the US, I won't say where, though some know. Anyway, I'm on TV here. I'm not famous by any means, or in any sense of the word though. :p

I invented the internet.

No wait, that was Al Gore...

I'm not famous for it, But my Ph.D. thesis did add a completely original piece of information to the grand sum of human knowledge.

However, in my ten years of teaching college, I've probably had about two-thousand students. To them, I'm infamous!

You're just the tube cleaner, silly.

I invented the wheel!!!!!!!

I'm famous and infamous for different reasons. A lot of them I either can't, or won't, share. But does it count that I wrote one of the most popular tests ever on OkCupid that is still in the top 10 every day?

I guess I'll post now.

Minor commercial for a restaurant my parents owned.

Went to Las Vegas and saw the blue man group concert. While waiting for them to come out, they shined a spotlight on me and asked me to sing the national anthem. I definitly did not do it.

And recently, I saw Robin Williams at MacWorld along with some guys named Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht. They have some podcast or something :P

[_sorrow_]

So far i've been pretty useless.. If you're into history, i'm related to the guy who invented the Ferris wheel, but i can't exactly claim that and get free rides at Coney Island :p

Edit: oh, and i used to work with troubled youth in a wilderness setting (www.adirondackleadershipexpeditions.com), so i can claim popularity and maybe a little fame with some of those students... :)

But one day... i'm going to take over the world! :D

[jjallday]

I was an unnamed co-conspirator in a federal lawsuit over selling fake copies of Office 97! Not sure if that counts.

I'm semi-famous around Pittsburgh because of my sports blog, if you want to call that famous.

It doesn't exactly make me famous (at all) but I'm an extra in the movie Birthday Girl, and I'm in a few newspapers for a different reason.

[bman]

[magunwarrior]
