So lately I've taken an interest in poker, along with my interests in investing. I also have a big interest in things like finance, mathematics, hedge funds, etc...however one thing I also love is engineering. I do not yet have an engineering degree, but I decided to Google around about engineering. So I started a random Google about electrical engineering, and I end up coming across this article about this electrical engineer receiving a big award for his contributions to the field over the years. He was getting the electrical engineering equivalent of the Nobel Prize I guess you could say, or something like that.
So anyhow, the article quotes him mentioning who some of his mentors were, and one of them was one of the essential founders of certain aspects of the electrical engineering profession (I forget his name). Curious, I Googled this guy and started reading his Wiki article, and it mentions about a book in which some of his exploits into gambling are mentioned, the book being called "Fortune's Formula."
So I check out "Fortune's Formula" and its a book about how this group of professor-geniuses in engineering and mathematics and physics got together to apply information theory to gambling, and then eventually the stock market! They became very successful at gambling, and the book mentions how one of the guys used the system to become a successful hedge-fund manager.
So I mean what irony, I go Googling a subject (electrical engineering), completely un-related to the other subjects that interest me (hedge-funds, gambling, poker, investing, mathematics, etc...) and end up discovering a book about all of these different things.
