PITTSBURGH - Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist whose "last lecture" about facing terminal cancer became an Internet sensation and a best-selling book, died Friday. He was 47.

I saw this on another message board (yes, there are others). It is sad to hear.

If you guys haven't read his book. Take some time and get it. I was really surprised that it was that good.

 

[Ron Tobias]

He was a very positive man and quite the inspiration. I have seen his lecture many times and I recently read his book. The world needs more guys like him.

The world needs more guys like him.

I couldn't agree more. Amen to that.
