The one where Stephenson says this is done by Salon and you can find it here: http://dir.salon.com/story/books/int/2004/04/21/stephenson/print.html Ah remember reading this interview when it came out :)

I've been trying to adventure-study this semester, but I've found such an amazing place to study that I fear searching for other places might be a waste of (focused) time. I agree with Nate.

However you seem to link to the wrong Stephenson interview; it should be: http://dir.salon.com/story/books/int/2004/04/21/stephenson/print.html Thanks for turning me onto Stephenson, by the way, both here and in the recent post http://calnewport.com/blog/2008/08/07/bonus-post-an-author-who-is-proud-to-admit-that-he-sucks-at-e-mail/. It's nice to read of the work practises of people I admire once in a while (particularly when they aren't too different to my own ways of working). Excellent post, thanks again Cal.

Combined with adventure studying, this could be extremely effective, but only if you have all of your materials with you. As a fan of time arbitrage posts, I was eager to read this and agree.
