The Last Lecture

Last week on July 25 Randy Pausch passed away. I'm sure most of you heard about The Last Lecture given by Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon. CMU was presenting a lecture series from beloved professors chosen to speak about basically whatever they wanted including life lessons, advice and personal philosophies. Pausch had diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and knew he had only a few months to live. He gave a lecture about "really achieving your childhood dreams" that was inspirational to say the least and became known as The Last Lecture. He surpassed the predictions for his survival and ended up speaking at the CMU graduation a few months ago.

If you have a free hour or so you can watch the full lecture or read the transcript.
