Randy Pausch has died

I wrote about Professor Pausch a while back and his, now famous, Last Lecture. Today, he died. Knowing things must be amiss, given the absence of his (until then) regular blog postings since late last month and a brief update posted by a friend, two days ago, explaining that he was now in a hospice, I found myself clicking the icon on my Link Bar all to frequently during today.

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I now remove that link - Randy will forever remain an inspiration to me and my thoughts are with his wife and young family.

Another misshapen day during which, once again, one who deserved so much better has run out of time and space. No justice, no fairness - of course there isn't. All a lottery really.
