Video Flagged Dead

Uplifting "Last Lecture" on a man's own upcoming death

If things ever get tough in your life, this is the video to watch -- it is amazingly uplifting and inspiring. UPDATE: Sadly, Randy Pausch died from his pancreatic cancer on 2008-07-25.

I'm not going to comment on the Oprah aspect of this but:

I have to admit, even though his speech was compelling, it seemed ambiguous in message and almost incoherent. -That is, until the very end, when it all makes sense. I too, found it slightly depressing, but once you realize this speech (and book) will embody the the many times a parent tries to instill values unto their child, it's actually quite genius.

This video isn't showing up - can someone fix the embed code?

But also, this precedes a likely dupe:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Last-Lecture-of-Randy-Pausch
Which should be discarded. But I don't suggest as yet, as the code for this is dead.

I suggest and request:

  1. Fix this code;
  2. Discard the other.


Before I did though, because of the exceptional circumstance of the coincidence of coinciding events, I wanted to be sure it was okay (deads, dupes and discards are an explosive mix) and have the proper oversight.

That is all. And thanks.
