I think its sad that someone can read a couple screen fulls of experiences, technologies, experiments, books, and out of all that cool and interesting stuff, the only thing they can think of is "look at that genitalia".
Aside from looking between his legs, one thing that caught my eye was he listed Bagwell's paper as a book, and maybe it is available in an anthology somewhere, but anyone who wants to read his paper for free can find it at:

Its an old paper, I read it a long time ago and remembered it and when I saw it in the interview list I wasted some time on Amazon guessing that maybe Bagwell wrote a book about data structures or something, and to save the rest of you the time, no he didn't, or more accurately, hasn't yet. As mentioned above maybe the paper made it into an anthology collection somewhere that I couldn't find.
A remarkably bad one line summary of the paper would be something like "Store hashes in something like a filesystem tree where everything is O(1)". I've never used it, I'll probably never use it, and its still pretty cool to think about. Thats probably why it made it on his list of cool books, its like a meme that gets stuck in your head, what a cool idea!
