Time well spent

A couple of weeks ago, my mom sent me a link to a ten minute video of Randy Pausch giving a speech on Oprah. A Carnegie-Mellon professor of Computer Science diagnosed with terminal cancer, Dr. Pausch was delivering a shortened version of a now famous speech he delivered at CMU as part of their "Last Lectures" series, answering the question "If you had one final opportunity to speak to your students, what would you say?" After watching and being impressed by his speech, I went ahead and took the time to watch the full thing on YouTube; it was well worth it. Anyhow, an article in yesterday's Times reminded me that I'd meant to share the video and hadn't gotten around to it. So, if you have some time:
