Last Lecture Professor Randy Pausch died

Post by Sheryl »

Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon computer-science professor with terminal cancer whose "Last Lecture" became a YouTube sensation in late 2007, died early Friday morning.



Spot awhile back posted the link to this lecture. I actually watched the entire thing, think it was over 40 minutes long. It was a very moving lecture. If you have the time, I suggest watching it.

I'll raise a glass to his memory when night falls, he impressed me hugely. Not just his attitude but his achievements and his entire career. His time management presentation was magnificent.

Thanks for posting this, Sheryl. Yes, he was truly inspirational... he'll be missed immensely. I wish I had more professors like him.
