Godspeed, Randy Pausch

I just read on Michelle Malkin's site that Randy Pausch, the inspiring college professor and lecturer, has died after his year-long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Randy had been famous for some time within the realm of the computer sciences, but it was his publicized last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University that gave the rest of us the opportunity to get to know him, look in on his life, and allow him to bless us.

I purchased his book, "The Last Lecture" a few months ago for my son. We both read it greedily, absorbing every page.

This world will be weaker without Randy Pausch, though he did his best to strengthen the rest of us before he left.

Godspeed, Randy Pausch.
