A More Profound Last Post (which technically isn't my last post because I went back in time to change the time stamp, but really it is my last post- and it's better than the one I had-and I had to change it because it came to me in a dream...)

Now, how's that for a title to the last post that technically isn't my last post, but actually is...

Anyway, the post is a link to Dr. Randy Pausch's Last lecture. ***



Why did I do this*? Well, believe it or not I have been dreaming about blogging/posting/texting and there was a "I can make a difference" theme to my dream. I was on my bike in a traffic jam, and everyone clapped.

*This refers to going back in time to retroactively post a "better" last post blog that doesn't contravene my original "this is my last post" blog title (and essence of that being the last post**

** Why did I make a footnote? Well, my English professor at UBC didn't like writing with the word "this". What does "this" refer to. Apparently I used it a lot. And one shouldn't. Use the word "this" a lot, that is. Especially if you're not a good writer to begin with. Replace your "this" in your writing with the words you actually meant to use there and all will be more clearer to your reader.

Why did I choose Randy Pausch's Last Lecture video? Well, I hope you remember the answer to that one. If not, watch it again (this is the entire video). Enjoy
