I had the pleasure of meeting Vint at a workshop at Caltech. He was crazy smart, jumped right in, took notes for our group, and wowed us with stories of the early days over dinner. He was working with delay tolerant routing and contact graph routing for Google Loon at the time, I believe. As always, it's nice to see a funny, capable, and humble person on the other side of the legend.
