Some of you may have already seen this, I hadn't until it was emailed to me by my brother.

Randy Pausch reprising his 'Last Lecture' (http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=ithct48cqw)

Worth watching!

This guy is dying of cancer, has a family with 3 kids and was told he only had 3 months to live. He gave his last lecture as a professor at Carnegie Mellon university and it was such a hit on on the internet that Oprah had him on as a guest to reprise his last Lecture.

An amazing man with an amazing outlook on life despite his teminal situation! :thumbup

Watched the first link while holding my 7month old son sleeping in my arms. I am now wiping the tears from my face with the hand that just typed this post.

Wow.

Very moving. Sad and inspirational at the same time.

Thanks for posting it.

They showed the original lecture at a company meeting here at work (Electronic Arts). One of the higher-ups here knows him personally and is setting up a scholarship in his honor. Very moving.

+1 on the original lecture. The college audience is much funnier than the Oprah audience.
