Brick Walls by Dr. Randy Pausch


I originally had this video segment in my sidebar, but, it was just taking up too much room. I had put it in the sidebar, because, I wanted it IN MY FACE all the time…so if I forgot….if I got down….then it would SMACK! …be right there in my face!

I really want my sidebar space back, though, so I’m just going to put a link to this post there, for quick and easy access.

I used this really cool software to get the video to start right where I wanted it to. It is supposed to end at a certain point right after the ‘brick walls’ part – making the clip only about 15 seconds long, or a little less. But the only part that worked was the beginning – which is good, so you can get right to the BRICK WALLS part. I just stop the player after he’s done talking about that – I just need my BRICK WALLS reminder every now and then. Sometimes I watch his whole speech over, but, it’s really long. So for the constant reminder – I just need that one section.

I’ll try to remember what the software was so that I can share it with you guys – surprisingly, I don’t see it in the code. And I’m going to try to make the clip again, too – to see if I can get it to cut off at the end where I want it to.

Anyway – for now – just remember about the BRICK WALLS! They are there for the OTHER PEOPLE! ;)

Thank you to Carnegie Mellon University for sharing Dr. Pausch with the world and thank you to Splicd.com for allowing me to splice to one of my favorite parts!

    Do you know the times between when he talks about that? I was looking to see if someone had edited the video to just that part, or included the text from it.

    I did have this set to start right at the ‘good part’ and then end after it, but, the ending thing didn’t go so well. Lemme look and see what service I used for it.
