Its fashionable on HN to disparage Wolfram but I have grown to ignore his ego and develop appreciation of his personality, experience and work. His anecdotes about Feynman as well as Gell-Mann is worth treasuring. Someone who got to personally know these titans is a very enviable position itself and he is probably one of the last links to that great generation. This blog post is highly recommended for all Physics enthusiast and is full of many great links and diversions.
I agree. I am growing out of the dislike I cultivated for Wolfram's ego that I cultivated during my grossly extended adolescence. He is an interesting and complex man who has achieved great things and collaborated with some of the greatest scientists of the last 100 years, on more or less equal terms.
