When I'm traveling or working in the kitchen, I like to listen to audio books. This week I've been enjoying The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, who had been a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon.
Randy is a good story-teller, and his lecture titled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" made me laugh and made me rethink what goes on in my own classroom. It's no surprise the book is a best-seller. Randy died of pancreatic cancer in July 2008, but his words and his amazing creative energy are still very much with us.
