I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.

It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

I knew the story of John Lasseter, but I never knew Ed Catmull’s role in Pixar. He was the tech guy who turned into the pragmatic leader.

Lots of good info on the early days of tech, interactions with Steve Jobs and really insightful advice on how to nurture creativity.
