randy pausch’s last lecture

In this video, Randy Pausch, professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center (and former professor at the University of Virginia) delivers his last lecture. At 47 years of age, Pausch is dying of terminal pancreatic cancer. His talk, titled Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, is an inspiration. Despite his terminal diagnosis, his talk reflects his attitude on life: positive, exuberant, and funny. For those UVa CS and SEAS people out there, Anita Jones makes a cameo in the Best Bosses slide and look out for our old dean of the E-School, who Pausch refers to as Dean Wormer (reference to Animal House).
