You may have heard that the other day, Randy Pausch passed away leaving his wife and three kids. For those of you who do not know, Dr. Pausch taught computer science at Carnegie Mellon after working on the Disney Imageneering program in virtual reality.
More importantly, he inspired thousands of people to live out their childhood dreams not only through his final speech, but also through his book: The Last Lecture.
Upon being diagnosed, he was supposed to have 3-6 months left to live. Fortunately, he lived slightly longer. Long enough to share his life experiences and tech the rest of us how we can live our lives better.
His combination of intelligence, creativity, and wisdom was unmatched, and though he has passed away, he left teaching the world some of the most important life lessons.

He was indeed a beautiful inspiration, a lifelong lesson for all of us. Did you see his address to the Carnige graduaion in May? There will be a major T.V. special tomorrow (Tuesday) night on his life.
