Randy Pausch has stirred up a lot of interest around his "Last Lecture". It's even drawing attention downunder here in New Zealand. He has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and gives a particularly positive slant to this lecture - it's about 70min long but just catching the start is interesting in itself.

Ahh, yes, but he sure has made the most of his opportunity to leave some good thoughts to the rest of us. That's nice.

very inspirational, and such acceptance of his disease. I only watched the beginning but will be revisiting it when i get the time.
