The awesomeness that is James Burke.
I've been a big fan of James Burke's work on the history of science since the first time I saw his "Connections" series on PBS back in the early eighties. Burke is all about finding links between seemingly unrelated moments in history that all had a part in creating a modern technology that we take for granted.
Damn it feels good to be James Burke.
