Randy Pausch has something to say...

If you haven't taken the time to see this lecture, do it this weekend. I saw excerpts on GMA this morning and I was really engaged in this man's journey and courage. Here is a summary:

"Randy Pausch is a pioneer in virtual reality, a computer science professor, a Disney Imagineer, an innovative teacher, and the co-founder of the best video game school in the world. One year ago he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and after a long and difficult fight he's been given just a few more months to live. This week he gave his powerful, funny, and life-affirming last lecture to a packed auditorium at Carnegie Mellon University, entitled "How to Live Your Childhood Dreams". The WSJ's summary, and a direct link to the complete video of the lecture (2 hours, and unfortunately streaming WMV). Warning: hilarious jokes about dying."

If you do a search on youtube for "Pausch", you'll find some clips too.
