An Inspiration, To Say The Least

You may have seen this before, but it doesn't hurt to see it again!

These lectures by Randy Pausch are incredible and very memorable. He has left a legacy to live by for people that don't even know him (including myself). I am attaching his talks titled, "The Last Lecture", "Time Management" and his surprise appearance at Carnegie Mellon's 2008 Commencement ceremony.

The Last Lecture:





Time Management:





Commencement Ceremony:





Lastly, ABC made a remarkable piece on him that is definitely worth watching:

Also, here is a link on his "Alice" project (pretty cool - and a free program): http://www.alice.org/

And here is his link Carnegie Mellon University has for him: http://www.cmu.edu/randyslecture/

Sincerely,

Thanks for the links! I had followed the story a bit, but hadn't really read or listened to much of the lectures. Thanks for the reminder about it. And thanks for the advice on a dog... it think we are on the right track. We found a wonderful home for Gracie.

Yep. Oh, and I made it so you can see the movies from youtube on here.

So glad I could help with your doggie etc. :)
