"the last lecture"

as reported from AOL:
"Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist whose "last lecture" about facing terminal cancer became an Internet sensation and a best-selling book, has died. He was 47."

update: so, i actually just watched the whole thing through, which i hadn't done when i posted it. it is a long video, i know. but, it's the only youtube video that has really made me think and reflect on life, and i feel good that there are educators and people like this.

I read about this guy when the first rounds of the video went out. Then I saw him on Oprah earlier this year or last year. I saw the article on CNN about his death this morning. I was surprised about how much I was affected by the news.
