Say good-bye (good riddance!) to 2008 & get ready for a challenging new year with a few lessons from smart people. Randy Pausch's legacy continues to grow, as it should. We can't add to it, but we can remind people. There are links to the video of Randy's Last Lecture in 2007, his site at Carnegie-Mellon University, & translations. Much love to his family & friends, in Pittsburgh (!) & elsewhere.Update: Randy dedicated a great deal of his life to public domain information (see Alice Project). We are downhearted & quite angry to report that much of the available visual material has been claimed as property upon which people (other than Randy's family) are making money! We are especially steamed by bad blogger behavior (BBB). When Randy was alive, he stopped this sort of thing. Someone even has the nerve to put all sorts of warnings on a Wikipedia page. Ugh. So the photo of Pittsburgh is courtesy of Duquesne U. in the 'Burgh. Thank you! (And the rest of you? For shame. Remember: instant karma.)
Happy New Year!
