The Wisdom of Randy Pausch: A tribute to a man who inspired us all

I first became acquainted with the story of Randy Pausch when I was completing my senior thesis on the subject of Internet Phenomena. His "Last Lecture" video had become massively popular on the internet, and has inspired many all over the world.

Randy died last Friday, and here is my tribute video to him. He is forever immortal through his wisdom and words. This video is comprised of many video clips and photographs from Randy's lecture at Carnegie Mellon, his Commencement address at Carnegie Mellon's 2008 graduation ceremonies, the reprised lecture on the Oprah show, Good Morning America, and several interviews by Time, Dow Jones, and Diane Sawyer.

If you have not read his book, I highly suggest it. More information is available here:

Donations on Randy's behalf should be directed to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 2141 Rosecrans Ave., Suite 7000, El Segundo, CA 90245

The 11th Annual LA Cancer Challenge will be held on Sunday, October 26. Donations raised go to the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research

More than a year has pass I really wish the best for your children. They are the ones you really miss the most. I can understand that from a father point of view. I really benefit from your lecture.
