It's a very small world..

Last night I was watching TV and saw a gentleman called'Stewert Brand who devised the 'WELL' which was the start of the web as we know it today. Tell me folks is this a mispelling of the surname and is Stuie this gentleman.
The program is on bbc.co.uk and called:
The Virtual Revolution. 1) The Great Leveller. The gentleman is seen speaking to the presenter.
I was wondering if it was a mis-spelling of the surname.
Anyone who knew Stuie personally and sees this programme would know at once.
For me it is too much of a coincedence, right age, right abilitiy etc.
Please put me out of my misery, is this the Stuie I shared the back seat of the van with?
