Adrian Holovaty is as red-hot as a techie can get. His EveryBlock.com tells you all about your neighborhood-including who's taking bribe.

"He can be doing this stuff and he'll wink at you," says Curley. "You can see the wink, like in the Congressional database, you [could] search by members' astrological sign. That's classic Adrian. Don't you think that's funny? I love that."
