The keyboards in Aperture's offices have a handful of keys picked out in a different color, and those letters unscramble to Adrian Shephard, the marine from Half-Life: Opposing Force. The portal gun's full name, Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, also shortens to ASHPD, which fans read as the same nod.
How to find it
Look closely at the keyboards on office desks around the Enrichment Center. The keyboard in the menu background after you finish the game highlights the same letters.
