The Last Lecture
I’ll start out by saying I’m not a very impressionable person. I just don’t get easily inspired by other people. I find motivation within. However, that ALL went out the window watching Robert Pausch’s Last Lecture. Now, I had heard of it before I’d seen it, but never got around to watching it. I was utterly blown away by the brilliance of this speech, and I was completely moved. Robert Pausch seemed like an incredibly special human being, and I would have loved to meet him. That’s all I’m going to say on the subject, because I’m not doing him or his video justice at all. Do yourself a favor and watch it, you won’t be disappointed.
As for programming with Alice, I think it will be a great experience. I’ve never used it before, so this is new territory. It’ll definitely take some time to work with, but I’m confident I’ll get the hang of it. Object-oriented programming is by far the most fascinating type of language to work with in my opinion. I’ll keep you updated on how it turns out!
