Here are random instances of my favorite things:

* Doing Science - Brian Reid's classic freewheel experiment, and Barbie meets paleontology.

* Fun with Language - Safire & Satire

* Writings - Dinesen, Frost, Cummings, Yeats.
Two guys on gender and bigotry.

* Music - the indescribable Roches.

And of course, where would we be without good books?

Such as: Computer Architecture: Pipelined and Parallel Processor Design, Michael J. Flynn, 1995.
