Tribute To Randy Pausch

[Ixo X oxI]

Thanks Greg for the heads up.

I've stumbled across his work, lectures, and adventures several times over
the past 6 months during his battle with Pancreatic Cancer .  I hadn't seen
an update for quite awhile

Drilling down a bit further in some of the links I have bookmark... here's
some more further details...

His own site with links to his work, videos, and more..
