A Very Joss Whedon Commencement...

Joss Whedon is known for his words...

So when he agrees to give a commencement to a graduating class, you know it'll be inciteful and fill with words of wisdom and pearls of humor.  The takeaway from this talk to the leaders of tomorrow that were leaving Wesleyan University with diploma in hand:

"You are all going to die"

It's funny, and pure Whedon.  Give a look to the entire commencement here.  Unfortunately, it looks as no one filmed it, as no video has been found yet.  Thanks, YouTube.

Sadly, no Avengers secrets were revealed during his time behind the podium...

Hat Tip to io9.

UPDATE:  We finally have video of the commencement, it's a little windy, but now you can see the words spoken by the bard himself.

Journeys...

I heard about this earlier but wasn't able to post anything until now...

Randy Pausch, a computer science professor and one-time Imagineer, whose "Last Lecture" was at a seminar series hosted by Carnegie Mellon University called "Journeys" became a YouTube sensation, passed away this morning from pancreatic cancer. He was 47.

If you want to know what all the fuss is over, here's Randy's Last Lecture...

Also, if you would like to purchase the inspirational book he wrote then click here.

He was an inspiration to all who value life and love living. He'll be missed dearly by his friends and deeply by his family.

May you find comfort on your journey, Randy...
