Faraway blue mountains.

You and Your Research talk by Dr. Richard W. Hamming, via LTU.

Obligatory blockquote:

The people who do great work with less ability but who are committed to it, get more done than those who have great skill and dabble in it, who work during the day and go home and do other things and come back and work the next day. They don’t have the deep commitment that is apparently necessary for really first-class work.

Hmmph.

Also, a little more link love, this time for Practical Common Lisp. (How I wish...)
