I've lost interest in myself 13 years ago
Reading the comments all of you have written has made me very excited as all of you have neat and helpful ideas. Perhaps the best motivator is hearing a bit of advice and receiving support from a wonderful community!
I've added reading the Holstee Manifesto to my morning ritual, what a neat poster Alias1. Feynman is a personal hero and his desire to do what is "fun" is a great motivator, thanks jayrobin. Misiek, my girlfriend would love it if we had a child, though I suspect there a few steps before that happens...
Thanks again HN, I look forward to hear more from all of you!
