Tim O'Reilly put out a blog on Sunday that I really identify with. Being in the technology field, we're expected to constantly be keeping up with technological and business trends in the field. While I do keep up with technology, I've stuck to some key books and fill my time with any writings, music, etc that help me connect the dots. O'Reilly said as much and listed a bunch of books, quotes, etc that he's found interesting. Cool. These are books and artists that changed the way I look at things. There's a so much more, but these are some things that come to mind.


Books
The Educated Imagination; Northrop Frye
Go Tell It On The Mountain; James Baldwin
Invisible Man ; Ralph Ellison
People's History of the United States; Howard Zinn
On Vision (an audio file of a lecture he did); Noam Chomsky
Fifth Business; Robertson Davies


Musicians
Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Nas, Sun Ra, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Kraftwerk, Fela Kuti, Isaac Hayes, Vangelis
