American far-right conspiracy theorist
As a good friend, somebody people could rely on, somebody who liked a bit of a laugh, and as a good mother.
Randy Pausch
Professor of computer science, human-computer interaction and design
I am flattered and embarassed by all the recent attention to my "Last Lecture." I am told that, including abridged versions, over six million people have viewed the lecture online. The lecture really was for my kids, but if others are finding value in it, that is wonderful. But rest assured; I'm hardly unique. Send your kids to Carnegie Mellon and the other professors here will teach them valuable life lessons long after I'm gone.
