Last Lecture Professor, Randy Pausch, Has Died

I don't know what to say about this except that I aspire to live life like he did. I'm not there yet, but I hope to find the will to get there sooner than later. To have a chance to reflect and realize what is important and how to fight hard so you don't let go of what it is important. It is the most empowering thing you can do. I struggle like most people to hold on to those memories and desires. Those core beliefs are crucial to your being and it isn't justified, in my mind, to let other things get in the way. Be who you are. Struggle to maintain your freedom and respect yourself and others.

But does life get in the way while you're busy making plans? I think it is hogwash. We let life get in the way...and few recognize that. Even myself.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
