What do you think about Lisp and Smalltalk? I've been following your website for years and always marvel at your willingness to deal with Java and such. I worked as a professional programmer for years, but learning Lisp ruined me. I can't stand syntax anymore.
Another thing I don't get about you is that you seem to live in a large house, judging from something you wrote about X10. Sorry if it seems like I'm prying here, rather I'm genuinely curious about living a better life. We recently moved from a our dream home in the country back to an apartment in the city. The big house was just too damn much nuisance: hard to clean, constant maintenance, constant worry, etc. Especially since you are single what's the attraction?
Could you describe your technique for learning new fields, or do you not really have one?
Any favorite books, movies, or classical music that most of us have likely not heard about?
