Goodbye Randy..
July 29th, 2008
Another golden leaf fell. The man who infused a great level of confidence with his "Last Lecture" to the world is no more. Randy Pausch, the phenomenal person whose book I finished last week, passed away last night. He is a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. In addition to being recognized as a pioneer in virtual reality research, he became widely known as a gifted teacher and a mentor to many.
If you have been closely following his blog, you can notice the postive vibes of his posts even in his last days. His ever confident smile pushes me to an extent I could never measure. RIP Randy.
