I know, I already have a post on Randy Pausch's talk on Oprah. This is the original 'last lecture' series at Carnegie Mellon, immortalized by Dr Pausch's brilliant speech. It's pretty long (1 hour 44 minutes, includes other speakers), but is certainly unmissable stuff: guaranteed to make your day shine through all your black clouds.

Randy Pausch's last lecture
Randy Pausch is a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. You might remember him as one of the developers of Alice, a free open-source object oriented educational programming language developed in Java. He's dying from metastatic pancreatic cancer; he has a few more months to live, and presented a 'last lecture' at Carnegie Melon a few months back.
Prof Pausch's lecture was also aired on Oprah, which you can see here. It's astonishing. Take ten minutes off your life and see it. It might just make you think of your life differently.
Update: you might also want to view the original version of this lecture.
