Great new blog // What would your last lecture be about?

Here's a new blog that i will probably be stealing links from: "Mali's stream of consciousness" by a good friend (you guessed it - Mali!). Tune in to her blog -- she's smart, articulate, and has a great sense of humour.


Actually, here's the first: a lecture by Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon U, who gave the traditional "Last Lecture" at Carnegie , where a professor is supposed to talk about what he would if that was his indeed his last lecture.
Only, here's the kick: he actually is dying, from an advanced pancreatic cancer.
So it isn't one of these silly email forwards: it's actually interesting and coming from a pretty brilliant guy. And it's pretty inspiring.

Enjoy.
(note - the above link is a 10 min quick lecture that he did -- if you have the patience, you can see (or read) the full lecture here).
