The Last Lecture

Continuing my posting spree, and avoiding studying for my Statistics exam (hey, this is still schoolwork), here is a link to a video by Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon Professor, and his speech called the Last Lecture. This lecture was given by invitation, as Mr. Pausch was diagnosed with cancer and had little time left to share his last thoughts. My Dad showed it to me, and I think it's a really good speech; I've listened to it twice. It's actually better the second time around. It's much like Tuesday's With Morrie, except with a more strutured format. He really has a lot of good stories and experiences to share. He has since passed away, and the lecture was turned into a book. You can find out more about him on his website.
