I haven't read his book, but his ideas are interesting.

A little taste from TED: [http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/125]

Also a fascinating and much more technical talk Hawkins gave at IBM's Conference on Cognitive Computing, watch till the end for the grilling he gets from established Neuroscientists and Computing people: [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2500845581503718756]

Thanks for the IBM link!

What an awesome life Jeff has. Became oscenely rich through Palm and Handspring, and how he runs his own neuroscience institute. Seriously, in my mind I can't imagine anything better than that.

Here's a better link: http://www.onintelligence.org/

Jeff's book is at the top of my list of things to read (it's been sitting on my self for a few weeks now.) What I've read about it so far sounds damn interesting though.
