Q, I've done some digging.

With Q post made about "Hack the Gibson" I found Beto O'Rourke was a computer hacker in his teens.

I couldn't help but notice, that you been also hinting at Snowden a lot recently who is also a computer programmer.

Now, I found something interesting. If one thing I know about computer geeks, if one largely famous computer person shows up in an area close by, they would want to go meet them.

I found they both attended the South by Southwest Texas conferences. The two wouldn't happen to be friends and close friends at that, are they?
