Well worth your time

I know at times I can be quite cynical and harsh, case in point is my rant on politics a couple of days ago. This is not one of those posts.

A few months ago I read about a professor who gave his "Last Lecture". He was a lecturer at Carnegie-Mellon and diagnosed with cancer and given a few months to live. The university asked him to join their "Last Lecture" series, which was just the idea of what a prof would say if indeed it was their last lecture. For him, it was true. I started watching it on youtube, and even though it is long, I just couldn't stop watching. It was funny, interesting and moving. It was a good reminder that even though there are lots of things to rant about, at the core much is right and good in the world. So, here is the "Last Lecture" if you want to take the time to watch it or parts of it. He passed away this last week. For some reason my embedded video isn't working, so here is the link to it.
