YouTube's star lecturer dies at 47 - CNN.com
One of the things you notice about age is that "all of a sudden" there are a lot of "young" people dying. Very sad to see that Dr. Pausch couldn't "pull a Farve" and say he was terminal and then go and "fool us all" by living. He said a lot of important things anyway, and we know that he was very much one that believed in "playing the hand you were dealt" with every ounce of wit, effort and fun that you could muster and being thankful you got to play. I'm thankful that was able to "live his death" with passion and openness and the web allowed it to be shared by millions.
