Last Lecture

Thanks to Gus Van Horn for posting this inspirational lecture. I have no knowledge of Randy Pausch other than the video, but from the passion he exudes in it, I have no doubt that he was a great teacher and a real lover of life.

I must say too that in addition to the message itself, I really enjoyed his presentation; including its logical structure, his deliberate care to concretize each point, and his understated wit (e.g. responding to someone asking him for the "secret" to his success, he deadpans: "Call me at the office any Friday night after 10:00 and I'll explain it to you").
