Nikolas Schiller

From the Washington Post (to read more): http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/13/AR2007031301854.html

Nikolas Schiller, 26, is the god of this alternative reality. Making maps at a frenzied pace of one every two days for the past 1,000 days, he has done everything he could to keep himself off the map of the World Wide Web. You can visit his site at http://www.nikolasschiller.com/.
