Accidental hero: John Siracusa is a celebrity among tech nerds

Peter Wells on smh.com.au:

John Siracusa may not be a household name, but to Apple nerds and podcast fans he is an accidental superstar. Siracusa was first noticed for his ridiculously thorough reviews of Apple’s macOS; reviews so long they were sold as Kindle books.

Nothing accidental about it, I remember saying up late reading his amazing OS X reviews on ars, and listening to every hypercritical podcast when I returned to Venezuela from Norway.
