Hello fellow ACTLabbies and others--

Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist, Randy Pausch died today. He 
was 47.

For those of you who do not recognize his name, he developed a "build things" program at 
Carnegie-Mellon that we have talked about in at least most of the ACTLab courses.  He was also 
instrumental in the group that developed the programming-learning program Alice.

If you have not seen this video on YouTube, I recommend you spend an the hour and sixteen 
minutes to do so:
