Cmu Professor Gives His Last Lesson On Life

Here's a really sad article on a CMU computer science professor dying of cancer. No I don't know him.

He's 46 years old and "In his 10 years at Carnegie Mellon, Dr. Pausch helped found the Entertainment Technology Center, which one video game executive yesterday called the premier institution in the world for training students in video game and other interactive technology. He also established an annual virtual reality contest that has become a campuswide sensation, and helped start the Alice program, an animation-based curriculum for teaching high school and college students how to have fun while learning computer programming."

Read the whole article it's worthwhile.
