Interesting to know this blog is getting a good amount of hits everyday (hour).
I want all of you to check out this article/audio file/video about this person called "Dr. Randy Pausch", a Computer Science professor at the Carnegie Mellon University.
At CMU they have these series of lectures titled "The Last Lecture"- where a prof is expected to give one last presentation/lecture assuming that it would be their last.
Basically, it is aimed at answering the question "What knowledge/advice would you want to pass on to the world if you knew you didn't have too much time left?"
Now, this particular prof. was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was given about 6 months to live when he delivered his "Last Lecture".
The actual video is not on Youtube.com, this is a 'reprise' on Oprah's show.
Check it out-
He passed away on the 25th July, 2008.
