RIP Dr. Pausch

This video went flying around the internet a year or so ago. Carnegie Mellon University had a "Last Lecture" series, with the conceit being that speakers were asked to give a talk summing up everything they know, as if it were the last talk they ever give.

One of the school's more prominent professors was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and given only a few months of "good life" to look forward to. He presented his Last Lecture on the subject of "Achieving Childhood Dreams".

If you've not watched it, you should. It's the longest video hosted on Youtube, at an hour and a quarter. But it's worth the investment.
