I log into facebook this evening, and there right on the front page, is an ad targeted towards me.

Yahoo! is “going down” + I currently work for yahoo = let’s title it. – “Leaving Yahoo!?”.

This is a bit of an unusual story for Slashdot- it’s the “Last Lecture” of a professor at CMU who is terminally ill. His early research in VR has benefited everyone and even if you have never heard of Randy Pausch I think this is worth your time. It’s a 2 hour long wmv filled with insight, laughs and wisdom from a man who has really done some amazing work. I’ve been watching it all morning and I think it would really be worth your time if you can spare it to listen to what he has to say. From virtual reality to education to stuffed animals and childhood dreams, there’s a lot here worth your time.

I would’ve loved to have a professor like him! (I’ve had some good ones in my life of course, but still, you can always wish for more, right?)
