Obsession

A TED talk I saw recently featuring Adam Savage from the show Mythbusters. I really admire what they do on Mythbusters because they attempt to faithfully and scientifically engineer environments in which to test modern myths, urban legends and commonly held notions that would otherwise be left to conjecture and debate. They also blow things up, it's very entertaining television.

Savage is a man after my own heart because of his passion and interest... in what? Whatever he wants. Few human beings (at least the ones I've interacted with in my lifetime) possess this kind of almost OCD, obsessive interest in anything. You can hear it when he talks. You're entranced by it, wrapped up in it. You want to know more of the story. What happens next.

And if you're not, you really ought to read more.
