Randy Pausch

I'm a little late on this... but definitely worth a mention. Randy Pausch died on Friday after his "Last Lecture: Acheiving Your Childhood Dreams" spread across the internet leading to appearances on Oprah and morning news shows all followed by his book, "The Last Lecture". All of this started after Jeffrey Zaslow (also the co-writer of Pausch's book) attended the lecture, hoping for a good story and finding a great story.
