The birthday: Happy 85th birthday to Alan Kay, one of the most interesting people in Computer Science I’ve had the pleasure to hear speak.
The Book: Art in the Blood [Kobo Canada] by Bonnie MacBird. I tried the preview, liked it, and bought it. I’m finding it quite enjoyable. (I read Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes novels when I was young, and then had the pleasure of reading them to our s when he was young.)
The Connection: Alan Kay and Bonnie MacBird are spouses.
