David Foster Wallace's commencement speech

Today's Wall Street Journal had a polished-up version of David Foster Wallace's Commencement Speech at Kenyon College from 2005. Wow, is all I can say. If you haven't read it yet, find five minutes of quiet time and read it.

IMO, the WSJ version is better; don't know how long the WSJ link will be live, so go read (or at least download) it now.
