As an ignorant American I'm saddened to say, very little. One thing that comes to mind is Simo Häyhä.

I cant forget Linus Torvalds. The third most influential person in my life behind Thompson and Ritchie. Without these three I would never have found one of my greatest joys, coding.

I think of the pictures of snowy landscapes crowned with ethereal lights dancing in the night.

Stories from my dad about a Finish violin maker who used to hitchhike everywhere dad used to give frequent rides to.
