Randy Paush lost his battle with cancer yesterday morning. Randy is the author of the book "The last lecture" inspired by the actual last lecture he gave at CMU - For those who have not watched it - the video is embedded below.He was a brave man and has inspired me to do go out and do things.
My favorite quote from the last lecture
"It's not about how to achieve your dreams; it's about how to lead your life. if you lead your life the right way, the dreams will come to you."
