I’m grieved to find out that Randy Pausch, the professor at Carnegie Mellon who gave my favourite lecture of all, passed away on Friday morning. While he knew perfectly well he was terminally ill, I’m afraid I’ve been in denial about the whole thing — he seemed so impossibly alive and the kind of person who would live forever. I cannot imagine what his family is going through right now.
“The Last Lecture” is, superficially, about achieving your childhood dreams. In reality, it is so much more. Watch it. It is worth the time.
