A most inspiring speech held by Jim Kakalios at the University of Minnesota (starts at 0:55). The video is subtitled, in English, luckily for us hard of hearing. Kakalios talks about how, and I quote, “You must be, simultaneously, a geek and a nerd” to be successful at the University and later on in life.

I almost wish I could attend the University of Minnesota, the University of Oslo is not half as inspiring.
