Adam Savage’s obsessions

I’m a huge Mythbusters fan. I deeply, deeply love the show, not only because it’s funny, entertaining and some times downright crazy – but also because you actually learn stuff while watching it. If you haven’t sat down on a cozy sofa, with a chilled ice tea, switched your TV on an tried to guess if the myth they’re trying to bust is true or not, I urgently suggest you do so.
The show’s strength is not only the concept, but also the hosts: I love Jamie Hyneman’s speechlessness, Grant Imahara’s love for robots, and off course Adam Savage’s wit and dynamism.
I found this video a while ago, and was really fascinated by it. I have watched every Mythbuster episode, but this 15 minute TED keynote revealed a side of Adam Savage that can I could only suspect on the show.
He is absolutely crazy. He’s nuts. He’s obsessive. He’s also a perfectionist, and that’s why I absolutely admire him. Enjoy the video.
