Mitch

From his early days as an introverted geek to his current days as a funky-haired inventor, Mitch Altman has had many and varied accomplishments, including, but certainly not limited to: co-founder of the fun protest, Hash Wednesday at the University of Illinios; co-inventor of Virtual Reality; founder of a non-profit Vegetarian Restaurant; co-founder of 3ware, a Silicon Valley startup that makes RAID controllers; founder of a rural queer arts commune; and inventor of TV-B-Gone, a popular keychain that turns off televisions in public places that propelled Mitch into the media spotlight around the world.
