Just finished watching the last lecture by Randy Pausch titled Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.  Randy was an inspiring lecturer at Carnegie Mellon University.  In addition to teaching Computer Science curriculum, he is also widely known for leading the team of researchers that created Alice, a revolutionary way to teach computer programming.  This lecture is not about computer science, virtual reality, or any other high tech topics.  It's about things that matter to every one of us.  If you have 70 minutes, it's well worth watching.  Given the impact it had on me in only 70 minutes, I can only imagine the impact he has had on his students.
