I didn't know who he was either, but some googling found this page:

http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/07/get-famous-by-not-programming.html

He describes himself as being famous for being a "loudmouth" blogger. 
He's worked at Amazon and now works at Google, so I guess that gives him 
a leg-up in the loudmouth blog arena :)
