snugglekittyTake a look at Randy Pausch's Last Lecture, about halfway down the page, for ideas about how to fulfill your childhood dreams and help others achieve theirs. Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
boy_wonderwolf for turning me on to this lecture. Warning: it's more than an hour long and the volume is variable. You can also access the transcript from the same page, which is faster to peruse, but nowhere near as good as the live lecture. It doesn't really carry the force of his personality or the funniness of the slides. The transcipt does, however, include the awards his colleagues gave him at the end of the lecture, which the video does not, probably because he's a modest kind of guy.
And on a lighter note, the Engineer's Guide to Cats.
