I just finished reading "Hackers and Painters" by Paul Graham. The book is a collection of essays around the common theme of software technology. Paul writes with insight and eloquence about a wide variety of topics, including nerds, clear thinking, how to make money, how to start a company, computer languages and software design. If you're a techie, especially one with an interest in software startups, then I highly recommend it.

Destiny is my science fiction movie about the future of humanity. It's an epic, similar in breadth and scope to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
