Inspiration comes from many sources

Last week I was scrolling down my yahoo page and I saw a short blurb from the Chronicle of Higher Ed about computer science professor Randy Pausch giving an exuberant “last lecture” I clicked on the link and there was a short video of part of his lecture. I was enthralled by him. After I finished watching the video I wondered if his whole lecture was somewhere on the web. I scrolled down the comments and someone had posted this link to it. It is 1 1/2 hours long but well worth the time to watch. As of this morning, it had been viewed 31,000 times since last week.  Randy was already going to have a great legacy in the lives and careers of his brilliant CS students but now he has shared some of his most wonderful insights with the rest of the world.  After watching this video I believe that the world is a better place because Randy Pausch was in it.
