Wow.

"I have experienced a deathbed conversion ... I just bought a Mac."

Thanks so much for posting this valuable presentation. It transcends everything and is relatable to everyone regardless of race, age, gender, nationality, etc..

Remarkable.

Definitely one of the most amazing lectures I've ever heard, and like you said it moved me too.

It was very cool that the Steelers invited him to a practice about a month after he gave this talk.

Watch Primetime at 10:00pm, Wednesday, 4/9/08, for a story on Randy Pausch.

quote:
Episode Detail: The Last Lecture---A Love Story for Your Life - Primetime
Diane Sawyer profiles Randy Pausch, a 47-year-old Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist with pancreatic cancer whose September 2007 "last lecture" (titled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams") was seen by millions on the Internet. Pausch discusses how he has spent his time since, and how his illness has focused his mind. Sawyer also interviews Pausch's family, and gets reactions to Pausch's message.

I just watched the Randy Pausch special on TV.

Normally I would pass on the overly dramatic news stories that are really just vessels for commercials and ratings. But I knew I had to watch this one.

BRAVO, Mr. Randy Pausch... BRAVO...

I suspected as much. There hasn't been an update to his blog in over a month. I had to figure things weren't going well.

Rest in peace.

The Wiki was updated this morning:

"On July 25, 2008, it was announced by Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America that Randy Pausch had passed away the night before."

The servers for his blog and site seem to be down. I imagine it is from all of the hits and is a bit overloaded. I don't see anything on the AP yet, but there is no reason to believe the sad news is not true.
