Randy Pausch: Last Lecture
by Parveen Kaler
Supposedly, Randy Pausch was on Oprah last week. Dr Pausch is a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who is dying from pancreatic cancer. He presented his last lecture at CMU earlier this year.
I am not going to link to the Oprah version of the lecture because it is a big piece of crap.
Trying to fit the lecture into the correct format for TV and polishing it all up to be broadcast absolutely killed the vibe of it.
The next time you have a spare 1h and 44min, watch the full lecture.

I actually saw this guy on Oprah while my cousins and I were killing time at the hotel in California. I actually thought the short version was pretty inspiring, so I bet it would be time well spent to watch the full version.
