I heard something about this guy (prof at Carnegie Mellon w/ terminal cancer) last year, didn't think much of it. CNN.com proclaims that he died today, and being bored I clicked the link and gave it a read. Shortly after I'm on youtube looking for this "Last Lecture", found it, and expected to skim through it. It was a real good watch, and if you've got the time, I suggest a view. Watched it from beginning to end.

Just having turned 22, everything is swirling around in my life right now- people are coming and going, tough times at work, do I have what it takes to finish school, what the hell do I do with myself for the rest of my life, etc. This was a soothing helpful "moment of clarity".

RIP. He lived at least a year longer than doctors thought he would.

Wow. Just to make it easier for you lazy soxtalkers . . .
