Randy Pausch: Childhood Dreams Lecture. Long. But really worth it.

"Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals."

I have no brain for things not work-related. But! I can offer beauty and silly and such, because it's fun and good and I want to. :)

( no really, lots of links under here. No actual content )

starandrea links to fire rainbows.

They're lovely. Go look!

These are _gorgeous_.

Specifically, it's the Flickr link in this post, but the post makes the pictures more impressive (taken from a dashboard! Damn!).

WOW, the wanderlust has struck, from those pictures.

australian_joe links to a very silly local-to-him commercial with an angry chicken! I'm still not sure if his description of it was funnier than the actual video, but the video is certainly pretty silly. (wmv format, IIRC)

Via fourgates, Sacremento airport 'flying carpet'. It's _pretty_.

Via multiple people, Lord of the Rings/Princess Bride crossover parody. The beauty! The joy! My god, the glee!

Via griffen, I think, How to not make me Ex-gay.

ladytabitha found this.

Oooooooooooh!

Link from rmjwell, artistic body armor. Pretty. Probably work-safe.
