Another One

Dr. Randy Pausch died today. I hate that my blogs have been dedicated to people dying lately. Well, what I really hate is death. That sounds dumb, I know. Who loves death? Death is depressing. Especially when it happens to people who are young and good.
But we knew Dr. Pausch was going to die soon. He'd actually managed to live longer than I think he even thought he would. During that time he managed to inspire millions of people. Including me.
I blogged about Dr. Pausch back in April because he had helped me see how great my life was. (Here is the video again if you want to see his abridged speech that he did on Oprah):

I see much in life as a possible business. It is exciting, but also torturous. I just don’t have enough time. A new idea often sends me into hours of thought, research, and ultimately deviation from what I really need to do in a day. I believe that the Internet has made it easy for anyone to create a business. I believe that the Internet has made nearly everything in life easier. I believe that trying to impact the masses is a tough notion, but finding a group of people similar to you, is at your fingertips. I believe that music is free, and that is not a good thing. I believe that life is a collection of experiences and that every day I learn something new and forget something slightly new.

yeah i saw his video and he was really awesome and sincere. I like how his strength could inspire millions, and he wasn't fake about it. He knew his limits and I appreciated that the most. I liked how he got down and did some push-ups in the middle of his lecture. Classic
