George Danner sent in an interesting write up of how he spent his summer at
Wolfram's CA Camp:

I didn't notice that George had much to say.

However, if you wonder where Wolfram got his ideas, wonder no more, consult
the online listing of his permanent library at:

    http://www.wolframscience.com/reference/books/

Though you'll have to wait for the relevant sections to be identified and
indexed to the appropriate sections of NKS, resources permitting.

It's quite a list, there is lots of great stuff.  But there are also many
odd combinations: the collected works of Peter Guthrie Tait are there, but
nothing by William Rowan Hamilton;  there are many books on wavelets
including a conference proceedings edited by Yves Meyer, but Meyer's
Wavelets and Operators doesn't appear in the orignal French or in English
translation; A Beautiful Mind is there, but nothing by John F. Nash, Jr..
Altogether too much scientific biography for my taste.

Maybe we should start a FRIAM online annotated bibliography and see if we
could cover our coffee budget with kickbacks from amazon.com?   Stephen
does want to find every book or paper that might explain complexity, so
we might as well keep score.
