Randy Pausch Farewell Lecture

[RickJ]

Randy Pausch is a co-founder of the Entertainment Technology dept at Carnegie Mellon University.  He has cancer and has been given several months to live.   His farwell lecture is here on  Google Video.  It's very inspirational and upbeat about life.

It is Rick.

I just finished watching it. Indeed it was very inspirational, but I do have to comment that the title "Dying 47-year old..." got on my nerves in the end. The lecture was great, very well talk, and Randy, is obviously a very talented salesman, as himself said. Still he specifically did not want to focus on his cancer so I feel that people uploading and the whole lectured turned into something a bit else than he wanted...

Still a great lecture!

Well, I was bored so I started watching this, you know, just for the heck of it. But then I couldn't stop. It was so interesting and entertaining and so touching at the end. A great lecture indeed. Thanks for sharing it.
