Randy Pausch. Knowledge Asset
December 30th, 2008
Talk about people who give meaning to the phrase ‘larger than life.’ Randy Pausch deserves this title. Okay, given that I’m a tad over a year late but, I’ve just finished watching his ‘final lecture’ in the ‘final lecture’ series at Carnegie Mellon. The video is linked to his homepage:

Noted that in his lecture he gives thanks to his mentors, heroes, family, friends, inspirations and most notably his students. I agree and think we’d be nobody without the people who touch us from all sides of our lives.
An excellent asset of knowledge that not just Carnegie Mellon will miss, but I’m sure the whole world will.
His daily update pages, while somewhat surreal, are still up on the site too:

Maybe he rest in peace, and his work and legacy be continued through his students and protégés.
