@jnoller congrats on the launch. Check out the http://www.dreamfactory.com open source platform for mobile. We should figure out how to work together!

So other than being open source, what's the benefit versus Heroku?

I'm working with a small team on an open source backend at dreamfactory.com. Apache licensed and installable on AWS, Azure, etc. or on any LAMP server. REST API is here http://www.dreamfactory.com/developers/live_API. CORS support plus JS SDK and boilerplate apps for jQuery, AngularJS, and Sencha around the corner.

What features are you looking for?

Pessoa created his own worlds. Reminds me of Henry Darger. Check out IN THE REALMS OF THE UNREAL if you haven't seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSzzirIP0No.

Thanks for the suggestion on Eco. I picked up a few books by Fernando Pessoa too.

Yeah, I read a lot more non-fiction than fiction. I'm trying to discover good fiction to read. Open to suggestions on anything.

Has anyone read Information: The New Language of Science by Hans Christian von Baeyer?

I just read Metaphors We Live By by Lakoff, George and Johnson, Mark. It's an interesting study of how metaphors unconsciously drive thinking and perception.

Wittgenstein is tough reading. Amazing that he conceived of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus in the trenches of WW1 (literally).

Dostoyevsky is a great. Still haven't read The Brothers Karamazov.

Thanks, that's a great list. Reminds me to read some classic fiction again.
