This is him, isn't it? This guy (on the left) looks enough like the photo on Hivemind...

I always assumed he was a total dweeb, but... yikes!

And this is the photo on Hivemind, with apologies to Daniel:

I'm pretty sure it's the same guy.

Please, show some respect. I heard he's being considered as Wikimedia Foundation's next Chief Operating Officer.

Somey: Of course it's the same guy. The video names Josh Zelinsky at the end, the pic is from Facebook (the full results merely add "Yale alum" after you log in), he talks about his fraternal-twin brother (who is also at Yale) on the video — I think even Durova could get this one right!

I can't see how that's even possible - the dude's so small, the recoil from the WMF standard-issue .357 Magnum would knock his own head off.
