Dr. Randy Pausch, Carnegie Mellon CS professor, Dead at 47

Noted Computer Science professor Randy Pausch passed away today after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Dr. Pausch was a founder of the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University and worked on the Alice program, an animated educational system for high school and college students.

It’s not difficult to find educators in CS who are as personable as Dr. Pausch was but it is definitely rare to find one filled with such kindness and an undeniable love for life.

His last lecture was and continues to be quite a youtube phenomenon. If you haven't seen it yet, it's about time...
