John Cook is pretty well-known for doing this sort of thing: http://www.johndcook.com/blog/top/

His blog is always a good read to boot.

Seconding this. Also his twitter accounts are pretty interesting: http://www.johndcook.com/blog/twitter_page/

He's written some posts specifically on how he transitioned into consulting; I can't find them right now but they're worth poking around for.

Yes he looks to be exactly the sort of person I am looking for.
