Hi All,<br>
<br>
I'd like to take a moment to respectfully mark the passing of Randy Pausch.<br>
<br>
I wasn't aware of him before he died but it looks like his work<br>
(<a href="http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/%7Epausch/Randy/oldRandyPage.html" target="_blank">http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/Randy/oldRandyPage.html</a>) was<br>
very relevant for our project. It seems like he was one of "us" (not<br>
that I'm of the same caliber).<br>
<br>
Has anyone used Alice: <a href="http://www.alice.org/" target="_blank">http://www.alice.org/</a> and is it something we<br>
should consider for the XO?<br>
<br>
I like his focus on entertainment and fun in the educational process. I<br>
think the XO would benefit from more excitement and pizazz in our<br>
activities.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Greg S<br>
