Last Lecture of Randy Pausch

Sometimes when we're neck deep in self pity, complaining about the most insignificant things, and thinking that our problems are insurmountable, we reach a point where we need a good kick in the ass to snap us back to reality. This is one of those ass kickings we should all have. Take 11 minutes out of your day and watch this video, you will not regret it.

Randy Pausch is a virtual reality pioneer, human-computer interaction researcher, co-founder of Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center, and creator of the Alice software project. This father of three will be dying in a few weeks. The following video is of a "Last Lecture" that he gave.
