An Interview with Jai Pausch

Earlier I blogged about Randy Pausch's last lecture. Some updates since then:

1) Randy also wrote a book after the lecture. Much of the content is the same. But there are some additional messages in there. You can get it on Amazon in either hardcover or paperback.

2) The book mentions two charities Randy worked with:

a) The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network: www.pancan.org

b) The Lustgarten Foundation: www.lustgarten.org

3) CBS did an interview with Jai that aired November 24th. Watch the 5 minute clip here.

Notable Paintings at the Dulwich Picture Gallery (ver 2)

This is an update to a post in summer of 2007 (broken links have been fixed):

Paintings I especially enjoyed at the Dulwich Picture Gallery:

• New! Moses and the Ten Commandments, by Champaigne
  It's a shame I can't find a link to this painting as it contains all 10 commandments written in Latin it looks like
• New! James VI and I, by De Critz (The Elder), John
• Isaac Blessing Jacob, by Horst, Gerrit Willemsz
  That's the best image I could find!
• Scullery Maid, by Dutch School
• Joseph Receiving Pharoah's Ring, by Tiepolo
• Triumph of David, by Poussin
• A Lady Playing a Clavichord, by Dou, Gerrit
• Les Plaisirs du Bal, by Watteau, Jean-Antoine
• The Bucintoro at the Molo on Ascension Day, by Canaletto
• Unknown Man, by Nason, Pieter

In Memory of Randy Pausch

Randy Pausch was a lecturer at Carnegie Mellon University. He died a few months ago of cancer. His last lecture is very inspirational and highly recommended. You can watch it here:
