Excellent article on local inventor

Slashdot had a link to a good article on Dean Kamen, a local inventor and scientist here. Read this, it's worth the time! He's the creator of US F.I.R.S.T. and many inventions.

Wow, talk about living the good life. Its amazing what he's done, I'd like to be like that one day. He must be incredibly rich, he has his own island, 2 helicopters, and a mansion.

He's the most likable rich guy I've ever met. You'd never know he was wealthy. A really cool role model for the kids in the FIRST program.
