Last Lecture of a Dying Man

[termyt]

Great speech. Dr. Randy Pausch is a professor at Carnegie Mellon and,
according to his doctors, has only a short time left before pancreatic
cancer steals his health and his life.

Carnegie Mellon has a lecture series where professors are asked to give a speech as if it were the last lecture they could give before dying. Dr. Pausch actually is dying, so how apropos is that?

-_- I just watched part of this in Programming.

Because he was one of the ones responsible for the programming tool Alice.

And as much as I respect the guy... I hate Alice with a burning passion.

Still, the speech is good.

We saw this in my ed psych course. Not sure why since it really had nothing to do with our class...then again nothing we did in that class had anything to do with mentoring (the whole point of the class to begin with)

Yet, he's lived for 5 years with it, and plans to live much longer.
