If you find yourself never having time to do the things you want, or if you find yourself procrastinating a lot, or in any way abusing time on a regular basis, then I'd highly recommend you take two-and-a-half hours out of a week, and watch these two amazing lectures by a former Computer Science professor at Carnegie Mellon, Randy Pausch.

Last Lecture
Time Management

You'll never be the same.

My family gave me the book a few years back and the video of the lecture is amazing. It's a tearjerker for sure and full of great advice. I'll definitely check out the one on time management.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
