I had a professor in university once who said “It’s a shame that when we grow up, we lose that child-like ability to dream. Don’t ever stop dreaming.” I’ve always held onto this advice.

Randy Pausch’s last lecture is about having childhood dreams and achieving them. If you’ve never heard Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture, take an hour and watch it. This CMU professor, who is currently surviving with pancreatic cancer is an inspiration to anyone.

Don’t give up your dreams.

I’ll be heading to Overlap this weekend. If you’re there, come find me and say hello.

Today is the last day for the prototyping survey and a chance to win a free copy of the Practical Prototyping book — Take the survey.

I’m looking for some input on different techniques and tools people are using, as well as issues they’ve run into with prototyping.

Here’s your opportunity to provide some input and have a chance at a free copy of the prototyping book, expected later this year. I’ve got a short, 5 page, survey — answer all the questions and you’ll be entered into a random drawing for a free copy of the book.

One person will be selected randomly from the respondents — that person will receive a free copy of my book when it is available later this year.

Let me at that survey!
