Paul MacCready was an original EcoGeek. He created the first human-powered airplane, and sprearheaded the first human-powered flight across the English Channel. The story of his work on ultra-efficient flight and his interest in the environment are very inspiring.
His recent death has prompted the people at TED to release a talk he gave at their conference in 2003. If you've got a spare 20 minutes, there's no better way to spend them.

The Paul McCready podcast is very informative and entertaining. He was an intriguing gentlemen. I wish I had known of him and was able to follow his research sooner. Also, through this video, thanks for the introduction to Ted.com. It is a very cool website covering many interesting topics. Many thanks.
