  that was an amazing read, but boy it is long... Some of the stuff in there is common knowledge, but plenty is not and you could probably set up a nice cookies file from all the quotes in there.

    I took one of Patrick Winston's classes last semester, and I've never known someone to dispense so much invaluable advice about, well, everything. I have a notebook full of his quotes on topics like how to interview well, how to become a professor at a top university, the proper way to do A.I. research, how to write well, how to threaten people, how to get people to change their minds, etc etc. Brilliant guy.

  Also Hackers by Steven Levy is a huge source of data on the Lisp/Cellular Automation days.
