On Intelligence...

I can't get the concepts I am learning from On Intelligence (the book I am currently reading), out of my head. The author is Jeff Hawkins, who is best known for starting Palm (of Palm Pilot fame) and Handspring (of Treo fame). Jeff's theories on how the brain works are fascinating, and the implications of his work, if correct, will be astonishing. A friend of mine named Phil Shoemaker works at Jeff's current start-up Numenta, and I am very glad that he turned me onto the book.

I HIGHLY recommend that new product developers, the intellectually curios, product designers, AI developers, parents, teachers, heck... basically everyone should read this book.
