Randy Pausch, the Carnegie-Mellon computer science professor whose "last lecture" became a viral hit on the Internet, has died. The news is here, but I won't get into the details of his death. More important are the details of his life. They go far beyond his research in the field of virtual reality and virtual worlds -- he was a fantastic teacher to his students, his children, and, thanks to the online video that CMU posted last year, millions of people all over the world.
