Got an hour and 15 mintes to spare?

An article was listed in today's newspaper and it caught my eye. So I went online and sat through the archived recording of Randy Pausch's Last Lecture (however morbid that may sound, the lecture does not actually focus on his future) and was truly moved and inspired.

Sadly R.Pausch passed away on 25th July (US time) after an amazing 10 months faced with pancreatic cancer (one of the most prevalent and fatal cancers) but his memory lives on through this recording.

So spare an hour or so and take a listen ... its worth it.

The Last Lecture is available here at YouTube
