Knuth always reminds me of my own passion that gets obscured by day-to-day work and life. Loving machines and the beauty within and not for any economic value.

Still waiting for his volume on lexing and parsing techniques. I always love his writing and how complete he expresses any particular problem.

It is my dearest hope that he lives long enough to finish AoCP, but I fear the odds are against it.
Nonetheless, his work thus far has been a remarkable achievement.
He thinks that it's only 5 years away... 2015 est. completion date.
