Dig that bongo beat.

¨I´ve got to have my orange juice!¨

Cool, daddy.

Jagdish Mehra´s, The Beat Of A Different Drummer: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman is one great biography, even if a little mathematically intense from time to time.

My favorite lecture, "There's Always Room At The Bottom," on nanotechnology.

Since you like the work of Carl Jung, I thought you might enjoy this talk given by Stuart Hameroff if you haven't seen it.

A New Marriage of Brain and Computer (Google Tech Talk)

He takes some time to build his case but his conclusions on consiousness are profound.

Ooo, thanks so much for the link! I’ll definitely enjoy that today. I live alone with two old cats so I don’t have anyone to discuss such things with. But i do so love to listen.

Ever read Hawking’s works? He’s got a wonderful, slightly snarky sense of humor, and his books are always worth a grin, right alongside all of that high falutin’ edumacation.

He does have a funny sense of humor and I enjoy his earlier writings. But like Sagan, his boldness in making assumptions unnerves me.

I prefer the humble theorist who has been proven correct on occasion. ;)
