Neil Gershenfeld
I liked his book on Physics of Information Technology. He was also mentioned by one of our distinguished faculty. I agree with his idea that creativity must be harnessed from all the so called "consumers" and fab labs need not be expensive rooms filled with complicated equipment. All that is really required is to make people aware about how they can just "tinker" and invent with almost anything. One excellent example of such a place is NYC resistor. Enjoy!

Removal of Principia
Unfortunately, I had to remove the principia book from the site because it had the tendency to crash peoples' browsers! :(

Notes on Scribd documents...
I am expecting to put up quite a few Scribd documents. These are some things everyone reading them needs to know:
- The maximize button is in the top right hand corner
- To the immediate left of the maximize button, there is a down-arrow that gives zoom options (- for 'zoom out' and + for 'zoom into')
- The iPaper drop-down menu has viewing printing and other options
- Below every document, there are two links to Scribd
- Have fun!!! I encourage everyone to use it!!!
