I've never read Pausch's book and I'm not familiar with a lot of those stories you mention. Thanks for the recommendation. Thanks for the comment, Tyler!

Just wanted to say that I loved how you mentioned Randy Pausch and the last lecture, there is a hell of a lot to be learned from it, yet hardly anyone knows about it. I haven't actually seen the lecture yet myself but I did read the book, I would definitely recommend doing so if you haven't already. As far as books go it's had an enormous effect on the way I live, and hopefully the friend I passed it along to after I read it (and any subsequent readers). The story about the Salt and Pepper shakers at Disneyland pops into my head all the time, as well as the one about the self-serve checkout and the lost $16. Mad props for giving him a mention!
