This'll surely be a failure of ambition, if it is one.

Young has just completed the MIT Challenge, a few days ahead of schedule. He passed the final exams and did the programming projects for all 33 classes. Read the announcement on his blog.

... Which is fucking awesome. The dude's been my inspiration for at least two years and I remember reading the announcement on his blog a year ago. In fact, it's likely that reading his blog lead me to other blogs which lead me to LessWrong. (I don't remember exactly how I found LessWrong.)

His posts on learning and time-management are very useful. The little book of productivity, an ebook he released a few years ago, is superb.
