Dying Professor last lecture

Saw this on Oprah. Did a search and posted the video of the lecture.

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007. The topic is "Achieving Your Childhood Dreams".

The lecture is interesting, humorous, peppered with his personal life stories and photos, and yet it is also sad and teary.

And yes, he is still alive and his recent updates is at http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/news/

4 min lecture


There is a longer 76 min version of the lecture. I could not embed that video cos it's size is too big and crashes this blog.
