Eckhart Tolle would be more use to the modern techie than the Bible. But, as with all modern communities, that is my opinion. Tolle just offers the same references for a more modern and appropriate world. Live peace, open your mind, love those you can, and help those you can't.

Now, back to the geekery!!

Gairm forget "Code Version 2.0" by Lawrence Lessig. I copied his list into Word and I'm glad I decided to count the number of books. Turns out he missed one. This reminds me whenerver someone gives you a list of something important, what good is it when it might contain errors? So you might as well make the list yourself, again only on really important things.

The Code Book is really really really good!!

What an excellent list. Thank you. I scored pretty good too. Hmmm.
