Well, I've wasted another 2 and a half hours away ( in fact more than that ) on some video that I've heard about a couple of days back. Some of you may know it ( if you have been following the news) -Dr. Randy Pausch passed away on the 25th of July, 2008. He was this great man who did many things that most people would have deemed impossible, and has certainly done a great job fulfilling and realizing his childhood dreams. (What were mine, by the way? >< )
So I'm here to share this link with whoever has the interest here,

Warning: its 1 hour and 16 minutes ( yah, long, but its rather worth it )
He's really a good lecturer and Carnegie Mellon U., and essentially the com sci / IT industry has lost someone who's really good.
