Do You Know This Man? You Should.

I don't know how many of you have heard about The Last Lecture. A question posed to selected beloved professors at Carnegie-Mellon: If you could give a last lecture, what would it be? Randy Pausch, the man you should know if you don't already, gave a now-famous and astounding "last lecture". He was dying of pancreatic cancer, and his lecture---meant for his children---inspired millions. If you haven't ever seen it, you must. You must. If you don't have the book, get it.

I bring this up because Randy Pausch died today in Virginia. After watching his lecture, reading his book...you feel like you know him somehow. Or you sure wish you had. You want to be like him and live life like he did. And to hear that he has died is just.....sad.

So take a little time sometime and become acquainted if you aren't already familiar. Two places to start are H-E-R-E and H-E-R-E. It's worth the time it takes; believe me.
