100th post! And it's an important one. Hopefully, you see this before it's on where you live - tonight at 10 PM ET (which is in approximately one hour) and 9 PM Hawai'i time (approximately six hours) ABC will air a special featuring Dr. Randy Pausch of Carnegie Mellon University. A few days after his now-famous "Last Lecture" in September, I found an article about it via Slashdot and watched the entire lecture online. You can watch the whole thing on the ABC page here.
Dr. Pausch is a truly amazing person and has deeply inspired me. No matter what I've gone through in the past eight months, there is so much that I take for granted. But "brick walls are there for a reason" so I'm going to keep working hard and finding ways to have fun, following his words of advice and indomitable spirit. Be sure to check out his day to day page - this guy has scrimmaged with the Steelers, acted in the new Star Trek movie, met the Police, swam with the dolphins, and lobbied Congress - in the past few months - pretty impressive for a terminal cancer patient, no? I hope you get a chance to experience this dynamic person and his story!
