Great to see he's still around. Bret Victor's post on abstraction and his visualization of Strogatz classic paper on networks are two of my favorite pieces posted on the internet.

His talk on "Inventing on Principle" and Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" are two videos I recommend every student to watch.

Oh, thanks for bringing that up. That network visualization is just so simple, so good and so inspiring. What a great way to convey research.
