Very rarely do I get to blog about things of real importance. My constant struggle to find the right email system, programing tricks, and occasional operating system things occupy the majority of my writings.
This post has to do with a video that has been running around the internet the past few days. For those not deeply entrenched in computer science circles, you might not be aware of it. The video is the last lecture given by Dr. Randy Pausch, a 45 year old Computer Science professor at Carnegie-Mellon University. Dr. Pausch is a pioneer in Human-Computer Interface (a field that includes virtual reality). Unfortunately Dr. Pausch has terminal pancreatic cancer, a disease he has been fighting for the past 2 years. He wanted to give one last lecture as his farewell to CMU (and the entire Computer Science community).
The video is a bit long (just under two hours) and it requires Flip4Mac to watch on Apple computers. I sincerely believe that it is worth the time.
