Randy Pausch

If you have yet to read my post in Facebook a few days ago,

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) was included in TIME Magazine's 2008 list of the world's 100 most influential people.

He gave his last lecture, a moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," at the university on Sept. 18, 2007 before a packed McConomy Auditorium. It has become a phenomenon since then.

He passed away last weekend after battling with pancreatic cancer. The Last Lecture is his definitive legacy.

Although the length of this lecture is over an hour, I promise that you will be fully engaged and emerge with respect for the man who dared to be different.
