Randy Pausch died today. He’s known more widely as the professor who gave the “Last Lecture”, but I highly recommend his “Time Management” talk — it really has changed the way I look at my own work and practical advice for how to get things done.

Though more importantly to me has been his work at Carnegie-Mellon with human-computer interaction and Building Virtual Worlds. His openness with his work and early embracement of academic publishing on the web is a true help to someone like me. Thanks for your work.
