RIP Randy Pausch

Randy Pausch wrote a lecture, his last, after finding out he had pancreatic cancer. I watched it then, and I just rewatched it... He finally succumbed to the cancer on the 25th of this month.

If you haven't watched this, do so. I promise, it's worth it.

Oh, that's such sad news. I watched the lecture in its entirety several months ago and he was an amazing person. What a loss for his family and colleagues...and everyone who admired him.

He had a good message and I know it didn't go unnoticed...by thousands and thousands of people.

I had never heard of him before - but this was well worth the 1:16 I spent watching it :)

Thanks for sharing!

I am sitting here in tears and grinning ear to ear. Thanks Ben.

Yeah, it's rare I find an online video worth that much of my time, but damned if that one isn't. In fact, I might watch it again in a month :D
