sad news


Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist whose classes talk about facing terminal cancer became an Internet sensation and a best-selling book (Last Lecture), has died. He was 47.

University spokeswoman Anne Watzman says Pausch died early this morning at his home in Virginia.

In his honour, here are some tips from Randy’s book that he would want you to remember today:

1. Earnest Is Better Than Hip
2. Don’t Complain, Just Work Harder
3. Get People’s Attention
4. Show Gratitude
5. A Bad Apology is Worse Than No Apology
5. Tell The Truth
6. Get in Touch With Your Crayon Box
7. Look for the Best in Everybody
