I stumbled upon this video when it came out about half a year ago and it fascinated me. It's the last lecture of Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon. The reason it's his last is that he's going to die from pancreatic cancer in the very near future. So, what he tries to do is to sum up his life and at the same time pass something on. The theme of the lecture is "Achieving your childhood dreams", something Randy himself confidently states that he did.
I like this video. Allthough the serious circumstances, Randy is so optimistic you almost get suspicious. Kinda makes you think.
As far as I know, Randy is still alive, and you can follow his progress on his personal site.
Update: On the morning of July 25th, 2008, Randy passed away.
