  • Television

    I don't watch much TV, most of it is inane, lately even the 'educational' channels, there are few shows I call 'good' though in that they are funny, and not too insipid: Dexter, Scrubs, Firefly, Buffy (not Angel), That 70's Show, Star Trek: NG

  • Books

    Mostly I read DIYs, history texts, and other non-enjoyment-based stuff. Terry Pratchet, Game of Thrones, Tao of Physics, Holographic Universe, Where Science and Magic Meet, Book of Swords (a history of weaponry book, though I have read the fiction series as well)

  • Heroes

    Again, not much on hero worship. Typically you get to find out your hero is just human like you, or you blind yourself to not see it, I don't really want either.

I'm not much of one for hero worship. Most people I find truly inspirational are long since dead. In the present day perhaps Molly Friedrich and the Datamancer, both eminent artists who inspire me
