Happy Birthday to Douglas Hofstadter (born 15 February 1945), cognitive and computer scientist, author of "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" and "I Am a Strange Loop".
From GEB, Hofstadter's law - "It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law."
From IAASL - “In the end, we self-perceiving, self-inventing, locked-in mirages are little miracles of self-reference.”
How many of you were influenced by GEB?
