Journeys...




I heard about this earlier but wasn't able to post anything until now...

Randy Pausch, a computer science professor and one-time Imagineer, whose "Last Lecture" was at a seminar series hosted by Carnegie Mellon University called "Journeys" became a YouTube sensation, passed away this morning from pancreatic cancer. He was 47.

If you want to know what all the fuss is over, here's Randy's Last Lecture...

Also, if you would like to purchase the inspirational book he wrote then click here.

He was an inspiration to all who value life and love living. He'll be missed dearly by his friends and deeply by his family.

May you find comfort on your journey, Randy...
