I've visited the Computer History Museum in Mountain View three times now. I love reading Steven Levy's dramatic biographies of the unsung heroes of technology. Heck, I even took an independent study class at Texas A&M on the History of Mathematics :-) Geek: yes.

Linux got a mention, but no sign of Ubuntu yet, in the annals of Software History. Best start working harder ;-)
