Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture
I remember watching Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture on youtube ~10 years ago when it became sensational. (The book was also NYT bestseller for quite significant time). It's very inspirational from the first minute. Even to this day,
Recently I was pulling together a list of introductory reading materials for HCI research, and I wanted to include one of Brad Myers's early paper on interface design. So I went to his google scholar, and I found out that my academic great-grandfather coauthored papers with Randy Pausch! And then it hit me that he would be in the Last Lecture video. (And he was.)
Little did I know back then, one day I'd be doing HCI Research. The last lecture means a little bit more special now.
