I never heard of this guy until today. But, I got to say... he's pretty damn impressive.

Just look at a few of his last lectures on youtube or google video. All I can say is wow. I hope to have 1/2 the courage this man had in my final days. RIP.

    That's sad :(
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    thanks for the lead. and yes very sad.
    I have faced it, A life wasted...

    Take my hand, my child of love
    Come step inside my tears
    Swim the magic ocean,
    I've been crying all these years

    This is very sad.

    As with all cancer victims (Including the much hated Tony Snow) my heart goes out to all of them, i've lost several family members to cancer, and my 15 year old cousin has hodgkins for the 2nd time, chances are he wont make it.

    He was very inspirational, and EVERYONE loved him. RIP

    His last lecture was very inspiring. He fought the good fight. We should all take a page from his book. Rest in peace and thank you, Mr Pausch.
