Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

This is one of the best videos I've seen in recent memory. It's a lecture by Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Also known as The Last Lecture, it was delivered on September 18, 2007 to a packed audience at Carnegie Mellon about a year after he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. It addresses three things- his childhood dreams, enabling the dreams of others, and the lessons learned- how you can achieve your dreams or enable the dreams of others.

Randy Pausch died from pancreatic cancer on July 25, 2008.

WTF Picture of the day

This is a picture I captured on a train a while ago. My apologies for the fuzziness. For the benefit of those who don't understand what's on the poster, it says, "The cure to Cancer/Aids now exists". An Ayurvedic Hospital called "Lavanya Kayakalap Anushandhan Kendra" purports to have the cure to cancer and AIDS. Funny I didn't catch that in the news lately. They even have a website for your benefit.
