Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor whose “Last Lecture” inspired millions last year passed away this morning at the age of 47. You can read about his life here. Pausch was a techie – he oversaw the development of Alice.org, a free educational software that teaches kids about computer programming in a Second Life-style 3D environment.
If you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to watch “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” his part of the CMU Last Lecture series. It’s inspiring. “If you lead your life the right way, the karma will come to you.”
