Many of you may not know who Randy Pausch is, and for those that don’t you can get a overview here. He became fairly well known via a lecture he gave at Carnegie Mellon which I’ve seen several times. Each time I watch it I still take something away with me and also end up in tears.

Randy died today at the age of 47 and leaves behind his wife and three children. If you haven’t seen the lecture or read the book I encourage you to do so. I’ve embedded it here. It is over an hour long, but worth every minute!
