Re: Randy Pausch Lecture Video

I had the pleasure of watching this last night. Here is how I found it on my own:

I was looking for books to read on Amazon and I came across this book
on their top seller list:
http://www.amazon.com/Last-Lecture-R...MMJD3BSP9N4MTM

It seemed a good book, but I was skeptical, so I read some of the user
reviews, and sure enough the most helpful critical review said the
lecture was great, but the book is just a book. So I went and look
for his actual last lecture on Youtube. Took a few tries, but here it
is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo. I tried to go into
it with an opened mind.

You don't need an opened mind to watch this lecture. Great stories,
great lessons, very easy to get through. And very important to take
the time to get through. I imagine most people have heard of this by
now, but this is just in case you haven't.

76 mins 26 and secs of Randy Pausch, and it's worth spending every second.
