Well, I'm the kind of dude to admire a lot of people ... People like Gordon Matthew Sumner, Mark Knopfler, Anathema, Matthieu Chedid, and so many others...

But not only am I an admirer of many musicians, I also have a fetish for Amiga demo coders like Dan (hi mate), Azathoth, Celebrandil, Mr Gurk, Promax, Slayer, Blacky (plop), Revolution (hi), Tec, Metallion, Chaos, Mahoney & Kaktus, Unknown, and also for PC demo coders like Ryg, Chaos (again), Keops (plop), Navis, BoyC ...
Not to mention my kink for good Amiga and PC musicians like Frederic Motte (hi), Clawz, Audiomonster, Heatbeat, XTD, Monty (hi old mate), Romeo Knight, and so many others...

Now concerning IT security, I also feel some big respect for some people, like Jose Nazario, when I read his excellent paper about Reverse Engineering Malicious Javascript, and when I see everything he does for the IT security community...

And by the way, thanks a lot to Sid for his french report about Cansecwest 2007 ...
