I'd love to hear from programmer/math geek/xkcd creator/all-around genius Randall Munroe. 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. But since I also like giving people options, I'll also nominate Penny Leach <http://she.geek.nz/>, 2009 Google Open Source Award winner in the "Best Education Hacker" category, and a contributor to both Moodle and Mahara. From her blog: "This is a website about me. I am just this girl, who works on open source web based education stuff, and drinks too much."
