Washington DC
By day, a consultant for NOVA Web Development. By evening and weekend, he dons his costume (which looks remarkably like the jeans and T-shirts he normally wears), and goes out doing battle against the forces of proprietary software. He was the team contact for the Ubuntu DC "LoCo" and one of the hosts of the former OLPC Learning Club/Sugar Labs DC. (He has also served as a Red Hat Ambassador.)

This is where, I think, there needs to be more education and browser flexibility so that users can easily and quickly have multiple customizable CSS -- so that I can "Zen Garden" the hell out of whatever sites I visit and not care what the designers prefer.
(When designing pages for someone else, I don't claim any artistic / design skills. I just make sure they contain valid HTML5, CSS, and that WAVE [http://wave.webaim.org/] doesn't complain too much about accessibility.)
As a follow up, I forgot to mention Dell's poorly placed Thunderbolt port to USB / HDMI / VGA / ethernet proprietary dongle. It doesn't quite interfere with the power cord, but it's mighty close. The ethernet connectivity is sketchy at best, and last night a colleague who had the same machine and dongle but had wiped the system and installed a non-OEM Linux found that the dongle's HDMI no longer works. I may try to hunt down the driver / configuration to get it working, but he'd since gone out and gotten a few different dongles from Apple for his ethernet and HDMI. They appear to work fine.
