Solitude

I've been on my own for the past 36 hours. That is ending in about 15 minutes.
In that time, I've been productive and contemplative. I've also read a shitload of garbage (Gawker, Jezebel, Reddit, Stumble, etc.).

What was the point of this post? (Solitude allows the mind to wander mad, yo).
Oh yes, this professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University gave his last lecture as he has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.

It's an interesting read. I can't help but find it somewhat sad.
