Wow, great article.

Poor guy. Some people's minds are constructed in a way that simply doesn't mesh with modern life. If only he'd discovered extreme sports; he's got the exact personality profile of a champion hang glider pilot/kiteboarder/BASE jumper.

Edit: I wrote that earlier bit about 40% of the way through the article. Now, at 75% of the way through the article, I don't think extreme sports would have scratched the itch for him, either. The level of novelty and adrenaline he trained himself to need could only be satisfied by the professions of drug addict or ancient raiding warrior.
