So I was searching the web and came across this blog by some guy named "Sunil Sebastian":
http://sunilsebastian.com/
There are some bizarre similarities between Sunil and Linus:
"Sunil" is "Linus" in reverse (and is a pseudonym Linus has previously used on the NCIX forums)
Sunil is a Canadian with a major interest is computers: http://sunilsebastian.com/about/
Sunil has an obsession with and loves boxes: http://sunilsebastian.com/2010/08/23/boxing-loves/#more-187
Sunil has a folding knife that he got as swag from a trade show: http://sunilsebastian.com/2009/02/03/random-tip-closing-a-folding-knife/#more-60
Sunil recently quit his job at his company and became an independent/freelance something-or-other: http://sunilsebastian.com/2009/01/11/freelancing-by-dummy/#more-42
Of course there are differences, Sunil is an engineer (not a professional unboxer), lives in Toronto (not BC), and uses (at least one) Mac instead of PCs.
Have I stumbled upon Linus' Bizarro counterpart?
