Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

I mean, far and away my favorite book is Atlas Shrugged, and it's probably not an accident that all the heroes in Atlas Shrugged are also pilots.

The Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton Christensen

The Innovator's Dilemma, everyone talks about it, I wonder how many people actually read it. You should actually read it. You should know what disruptive innovation actually means.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
