Dean Kamen is in my Book

I was sitting there in my Intro to Business class when i saw a familiar face in the text. There was a certain section called Focus on Entrepreneurs: Dean Kamen -- DEKA Research & Development Corporation. (ill give you some excerps for all interested)

1986 set up a hands on science musuem
then set up U.S. FIRST
in school years he read about his favorite scientific greats (archimedes, galileo, newton, and einstein)(hmmm, i wonder )
after highschool he invented systems for audiovisual shows
then invented an automated device to give doses of medicine intravenously (i actually just had one of those in my knee, i have ACL surgery )
at age 31 a multimillionare
then he branched out on helcopter design and climate control systems
at DEKA he designed small kidney dialysis machines
it also says he is working on a secret project that involves hot air engines like those in 1816

"I'm asking all of you to help us make the next hero a scientist or a technologist---real heros."

book copyright 1997

just thought you guys would like that

Did anyone see the two page IBM ad in the november issue of Scientific American? It has Dean sitting in the middle of his shop using a laptop computer on pages 2 & 3. I'm hoping to find a clue to next years game laying around his shop. Looks like maybe it's only a lot of Segway stuff.
