The Pantheon of Geek Gods

This caught my eye on Foxnews.com mainly because of the title.  I’m not just an IT fan, but a Greek mythology fan as well.  They have the biggest names in various IT fields, and I was tickled to see this guy.

This is Shigeru Miyamoto, and anyone who enjoys video games knows this gentleman. He is the creative genius that put Nintendo on the map. You are looking at the creator of Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and many other beloved characters. When the video game crash of the 1980′s hit the US, it was Japan-based Nintendo’s 8-bit game console and this man’s creations that saved the industry. So anyone who enjoys their Xbox360 or PS3 owes this man a huge thank you.
