Randy Pausch is an MIT professor who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September of 2006. It has become a terminal condition. I was turned on to this lecture, strangely enough, through Star Trek circles. Evidently Randy is a Trekkie, and when this "Last Lecture" began proliferating on the internet, JJ Abrams invited him to be in the new Star Trek movie. I read about it on his site, but really, the lecture speaks for itself. It's lengthy, but worth it. Not to go all Oprah, but it is at times difficult emotionally - but this man's love for life, his family, his work. . . powerful stuff.
