Very hacker like, I was excited about the pilot of his show, Trial by Fire, that ran a year ago but unfortunately it didn't catch on so it never went beyond the pilot episode.

The approach of looking at an end result, deconstructing it and then rebuilding from scratch (even with a few shortcuts to expedite the process) is a great way to reverse engineer a product, behavior or as shown in the pilot, a new skill.

The trailer for Trial by Fire if you missed it last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09_YaUw9Rm8
