Very cool article about John Mighton, poet, playwright, mathematician. At the core of what I find compelling about people like Mighton is the idea of taking your life and what you do with it seriously; it's something I'm still learning how to do. To be clear, by serious I don't mean self-important; I mean finding a way to do what you want to do because you think it's important, even if other's don't see what's important or special about it (or you).
