A true inspiration, RIP Professor Randy Pausch.
I followed his blogs closely for the past 4 months and I’m amazed how long he hung on. His ‘counts’ have been so low…. What a truly remarkable human being.

Read his book and the time-management seminar video…wish I ever had a teacher like him
I made it as far as when they started singing “Happy Birthday” to his wife before I started crying. He’s an inspiration.
