I’m in Mountain View for a few days talking at a Nokia Developer Conference. It’s too late to sign up, but these are free events that Forum Nokia organizes to give developers a chance to meet the people behind the scenes and discuss mobile development. Typically these have limited seating, but if you’re interested in attending one in the future, check out the Forum Nokia Events page for upcoming listings.

A few books I'm reading now:

Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High
Watchmen -- graphic novel (and an upcoming movie)
What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful
The Unwritten Laws of Business
The Simplicity Survival Handbook: 32 Ways To Do Less And Accomplish More

A few books I'd recommend:

Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science by Charles Wheelan -- A fantastic overview of the field of Economics. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson -- a true tale of scientific thinking throughout history. You'll be amazed by how much we still don't know.
Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner -- a fun read offering a somewhat different way of looking at society. Answers questions like "Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?", and what qualities in a parent matter for the success of a child later in life?
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen. I'm a bit of a GTD freak since reading this, but productivity == $$ (whether you can simply get more work done in a given time, or work less by focusing on the right tasks.)
