Monday Reader–Points of View (a tribute to Alan Kay)

Points of View is a collection of essays written to celebrate Alan Kay's 70th birthday last year. Some are descriptions of some of Alan's great ideas and impact on computer science, some are historical anecdotes and plenty in between. I am just picking this back up after getting half way through when it was first released online and am pleasantly surprised that there is a second printing available.
It's a privilege to read some of the authors of the essays, let alone learn more about Alan's life and work. A must read for anyone serious about the computer profession!
