Keynote: The Last Lecture – Jeffrey Zaslow

This Keynote was given Tuesday afternoon. It was based on the book The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow.

Randy Pausch was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer; they gave him around 6 weeks to live.

Below are some of the main points I wrote down from the keynote given by the co-author of the book:
