    This week's technology section of the New York Times online has an article entitled:

    For the World's A B C's, He Makes 1's and 0's By Michael Erard published September 25, 2003

    The opening paragraph:

    Michael Everson, a 40-year-old typographer who lives in Dublin, considers himself blessed because he has found his life's work: to be an alphabetician to all the peoples of the world. Mr. Everson's largest project to date - a contribution to a new version of Unicode 4.0, an international standard for computerizing text - is cementing his reputation.
