Randy Pausch – Oct. 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008

CNN has an amazing story about Randy Pausch, a CS professor that was diagnosed with terminal cancer and decided to do his last lecture in style last September. The lecture was put in YouTube and has over 3 million views. He passed away today and his lecture is an amazing insight to life and the meaning of it.

Best line is “I had a deathbed conversion… I bought a Mac“

Heard about this on the radio this morning. Going to have to find time to watch his lecture tonight.

I didn’t hear about it until this morning either. I think Good Morning America is supposed to do a week long tribute to him, they have been following his story for some time and have done several specials on him. I haven’t watched the video yet, but I’m about half way through with his book.
