Published by Ken Stewart at 10:59 pm under Change

You may read the full article on CMU’s website.

My thoughts and prayers go to the Pausch family.

Even though I never met Randy, he was truly an humbling inspiration to me.

Mass-effect or Micro-interactions?

If you haven't had a chance to read his book "The Last Lecture" I recommend that you get it and read it. If you have read it, I recommend that you read it again.

It is amazing how inspiring someone can be... especially when that isn't the goal.

I agree with Corey. I learned of Randy this past spring through the viral 'Last Lecture' video. I was motivated to buy his book. And on vacation I read the book in one day.
I recommend everyone to read it!
May he rest in peace.
