It is a shame that Mr. Wolfram cannot write about things without making it 75% about himself. I once bought a book he wrote about great scientists, each chapter about a different scientist. I thought "This guy's stuff is usually so self promotional it is kind of gross, but this will be fun to see his take on these other people".

The book was still about him. Amazing.

My thought, too: what a nice written promotional text for Wolfram Alpha and himself! But it appeared on his blog site, so it’s ok.

Dude. For some reason I stopped reading this at the "I, myself" and was like WTF!?

Happy I'm not alone LOL

An old joke totally applicable to Mr. Wolfram: "Such a shame we're talking about myself, let's talk about you. Have you read my recent book?"
