Clifford Stoll

I've found that my data analysis goes much faster if I listen to talks or podcasts while I work. Yesterday I came across Clifford Stoll's TED talk. Clifford Stoll wrote a brilliant book called The Cuckoo's Egg back in 1989 or so about his experiences tracking a hacker. I think I read it in primary school, and remember dad yelling at me because I bent the front cover. Oops. Anyway, he's also an astronomer and an absolute lunatic, but an interesting lunatic. So watch the video, and if you have any suggestions about podcasts etc., hit me back.
