Right before lunch, I got to meet Steve Gillmor, who apparently produced Firesign Theatre's first album and one of their movies. It's funny to me how Firesign Theatre, geocaching, and Gnomedex have been linked together in an odd sort of way. (Firesign Theatre is connected to Steve Gilmor and geocaching [via Monty Wolf]; Steve Gilmor and Wil Wheaton are connected to Gnomedex this year; Both Wil Wheaton and myself go geocaching, and the topic of geocaching was mentioned in Wil's presentation today, as well as in a post by Chris Pirillo a few months ago; Of course, now I've met both Wil and Steve at Gnomedex and everything's come full circle!)

Right after meeting Steve and briefly discussing Firesign Theatre, I decided to go out and try to find the "FST: How Can You Be In Two Places At Once. . ." cache just a block away from Harrah's, but even with all the extra karma of having just met Steve Gillmor, I wasn't able to find it. Shaft.

I'm now sitting in the final session of Gnomedex 4 on the future of online advertising, which is fairly interesting. I've got a couple of cool photos taken of myself taken with some online celebrities, including Wil Wheaton, and Chris and Ponzi:

Gnomedex has been great this year, and I even got a few autographs, to boot! While waiting in line to meet Wil, I got to overhear some friendly banter between Wil, Robert Scoble, and Steve Gillmor. It was just great to be there in person and catch some scraps from the table of these web legends. =)
