A life well lived....

Randy Pausch died on Friday...he was the professor at Carnegie Mellon University who gave a lecture, his last lecture, back shortly after he'd been told that he only had a few months to live, having just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I have followed his story and listened to his talk....he did the lecture for his kids, who are 2, 4 and 6...it was videotaped for them to listen to in future years, and many friends and collegues gathered to listen. They gave him a 4 minute ovation before he even started. He was so highly thought of in his profession in computer science, that during his tenure at CMU, his students would bring their friends and even their parents to listen to him lecture....he was beloved.
