The Last Lecture

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

I recently watched ABC Primetime Live on 9 April 2008 about Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University computer science professor who has terminal pancreatic cancer. I was struck by his candor, his future thinking and his high spirits.

A couple of days later I tried to purchase his book, “The Last Lecture” at Amazon, but they were already sold out and would not get a new shipment for several weeks. Other online vendors were in similar straights. As it turns out, we found a copy of the book at the local university book store.

More to come…
