The Last Lecture

I'm sure most people have heard about this by now, but I finally watched Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" on YouTube. For those of you who don't know, Randy Pausch was a professor of Computer Science at Carnegie-Mellon but he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. "The Last Lecture" is a series Carnegie-Mellon was doing, but in this case it truly was Randy Pausch's last lecture. The title of the lecture is "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," and far from being depressing or sad, he is charming, witty, and funny throughout the entire thing. It's long (over an hour) but if you have some time, definitely watch it! He died last week, and it's amazing how this man has touched so many people with his words. It definitely makes you reevaluate some of your own life goals as well!
