'Last lecture' professor dies of cancer Randy Pausch, a former Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist whose "last lecture" about facing terminal cancer became an international sensation, died Friday. He was 47.

DO something to enjoy your life today. "Pausch often emphasized the need to have fun. "I mean I don't know how to not have fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left. Because there's no other way to play it," he said in his Carnegie Mellon lecture. "

I saw that video clip and I saw him on TV a couple times. An amazing man, and a huge loss. I hope I'd have the grace and wherewithal to deal with such a situation as he did. Thanks for sharing, Amy.

He sure did teach us a lot of things. I cried when I saw his performance, and that special. Poor fellow. Spareribs

I was sad to hear he had passed. It's a shame we need something terrible to happen to us before we realize the importance of having fun and living each day like it is our last.

Shoot, I was afraid that's what had happened. I've been following his blog, and his last post was on June 26. One of his kids is a Logan, like mine. He lived quite a few months longer than they expected, so I'm glad he had more time with his children.
