RIP Randy Pausch

For those of you not familiar with who this person is, he became famous for his "Last Lecture" talk given at Carnegie Mellon:

He was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and just passed away two days ago. I found out about him while browsing Chapters' book sales and decided to read his book "The Last Lecture", which is a short autobiography and about how he believes people need to strive to achieve their dreams and overcome any 'brick walls' that arise during the process. Anyways, I was blown away by his book and am sad to hear that he finally succumbed to his disease. I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't heard of him, go read his book; or at the very least watch his video.
