Moving words from a dying man.

Today I watched an awesome youtube video of Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Please watch this video, its worth every second. Take the 75 minutes and focus 100% of your attention on his words. This week I'm going to write a few blogs on some points that stuck me from his speech. Stay tuned for those.

I had the fortunate of having Randy as my undergrad advisor and as a teacher in User Interface Design while I was at UVA in the early 90s. He’s every bit the maniacal crazed inspired and energetic person that he seems in that presentation.

You know, he’s still ticking — and he’s written a book.
