“Then you should say what you mean.” - The March Hare
“I do - at least, I mean what I say. That's the same thing, you know.” - Alice
“Not the same thing a bit! You might as well just say that 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see'!" - The March Hare

Randy Pausch Last Lecture – Prof. Pausch’s work in virtual reality led directly to Alice as well as countless innovations in entertainment technology at Disney and elsewhere. His last lecture at CMU moves and inspires me every time I watch it. If you haven’t seen it, you should. 15 million views on YouTube and counting.
Alice Sounds Library – downloadable files pre-tested with Alice
Sound Effects files – all .mp3, all free for the downloading. Please include the weblink in comments in an appropriate method.
