Here's a terrific article (from 2007!) from Ben Orenstein of Thoughtbot that is most likely (I honestly don't remember) where I got my "we don't learn with our eyes and ears, we learn with our fingers" mantra.

Ben is also an amazing presenter and podcaster: check out anything you see his name attached to. In particular:
Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots Podcasthttp://podcasts.thoughtbot.com/giantrobotsin particular episodes 44-53, where he interviews Chad Fowler, Sandi Metz, Ryan Bates, Aaron Patterson, Jeff Casimir, Katrina Owen and more! (I need to sit down)
How To Talk To Developers - RailsConf 2013http://confreaks.com/videos/2488-railsconf2013-how-to-talk-to-developersThe power poses and singing tips are worth the price of admission and he is my personal hero for presentation style.
Refactoring From Good To Great - RubyConf 2012http://confreaks.com/videos/1283-rubyconf2012-refactoring-from-good-to-greatFull disclosure: this is the talk I most regret not seeing... I was at Dr. Nic's presentation next-door. :-(
He is also reliably-hilarious on Twitter, as r00k. (That's a pair of zeroes)
Enjoy!
