Covered just about everywhere, Randy Pausch has died at 47 from pancreatic cancer. I predicted this year that he’d made it to 2009 on pure hope and faith in his spirit, but sadly, no.

I won’t say much on this, as a number of people far more eloquent than I are. However, I took this screen shot of CNN, which features Randy while giving his “Last Lecture.” It says something quite profound about a person when their death makes the front page nationally.

Rest in peace.
