Randy Pausch

Google news had Carnegie Mellon as a major newsmaker and it could mean only two things, either they had discovered the method to combat global warming or Randy Pausch was dead.

In the scheme of things, there cannot be a greater person than our esteemed Director (let us not talk about his zen), but Randy Pausch came pretty damn close.

The courage with which Randy Pausch faced his death has inspired millions worldwide.

His advice on 'Time management' helped us add a second screen to our workspace. However, being supremely drug addled and chasing children/goats we did not see any dramatic increase in output.

His speech on really achieving your childhood dreams also touched a deep chord in our leader who as you know deeply loves children. Like, really really loves them intimately.

In case you don't know what the fuck this post is about you will be advised to watch the following:

Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

(He has also written a book based on the lecture. The jury is out about whether it really expands the subject of the lecture independantly).

In conclusion, it must be said in the words of our great leader: that the world needs less bangladeshis and malayalis and more people like Randy Pausch.
