On Feynman
Richard Feynman is one of my favorite people in all of science. His writing is great, and he just seems like an ordinary guy who is playing the part of an absolute genius. He provides concrete examples of everything he describes, which makes his writing very easy to understand.
I just started listening to the Feynman Lectures on Physics on my iPod, and I think it may be the best audio book I've every listened to. He refers to atoms "jiggling" and "wiggling", and describes the interaction of magnetic fields through the analogy of using water in a pool to push a floating object.
I'm glad somebody had the foresight to record these lectures back in '62.

No links to find out more? Am I suppose to use the google?
I'm easing in to the whole blogging thing... I'll get it eventually.
This is a good book to start on if you are interested.
The audiobook doesn't appear to be available on iTunes, unfortunately.
Also, there is a ton of info about Feynman on Wikipedia, here.
