The two articles that have, arguably, made the biggest impact on my philosophy of life, in general, and research in particular would be:

• "Generation of Greatness", lecture by Edwin Land, given at MIT in 1957


• "You and Your Research", lecture by Richard W. Hamming as Bell Communications Research Colloquia Series, in 1986.

Apart from that, I plan to link any interesting articles that I come across here. This list should grow depending on how much free time I get in the coming months:

• "Why Smart People Defend Bad Ideas", by Scott Berkun, April 2005


• "Evaluating Systems Papers", by Werner Vogels (CTO Amazon) 2004


• "Burnout Prevention and Recovery", (MIT-views)


• "A History of the Internet 1962-1992", Computer History Museum


• "Scientist: Four Golden Lessons", by Steven Weinberg - talk at McGill, 2003


• "You've got to find what you love", by Steve Jobs (CEO Apple and Pixar) delivered at Stanford 2005


• "Class Matters: Shadowy Lines That Still Divide", NY Times May 15, 2005


• David Clark et al, "Making the world (of communications) a different place", ACM Computer Communication Review, July 2005


• Thoughts on a Life in Research: From The Indian Jugglers, by William Hazlitt
