What a thoroughly interesting guy.

Around 20 years ago, I was studying computer science and having some beers with fellow nerds. One of them was an AI grad student who had met Kevin at a conference.

He told the story of meeting Kevin and getting his card. It was made of laser cut steel and contained a tear out lockpick set.

We all thought that was the coolest thing in the world, considering he was the world’s most famous hacker.

The grad student then proceeded to pull the card from his wallet and show it to us. Kevin’s card had such a big impact in n this guy that he carried it with him ALL THE TIME!
