James Burgett of the Alameda County Computer Resource Center calls himself
a 'tattooed freak' and a recovering drug addict, but CNN is calling him a
hero (video) for diverting tons of computers from landfills, installing
Ubuntu Linux on them, and giving them out to schools, non-profits, and
poor people. Burgett's filmed interview is currently leading a CNN contest
among videos of 'ordinary people' whom CNN considers everyday heroes,
narrowly edging out the video of a man who is saving gorillas from
extinction. In his interview, Burgett points out that the people working
for him are also recovering drug addicts or recovering mental illness
patients."
