SOFTWARE & TOOLS: The Human Side of Alice

September 25th, 2007 by Susan


Stumbled onto a video via The Writers’ Group and just can’t come to terms with it. 

Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon and one of the main brains behind Alice, is dying of cancer.  Inspirational above and beyond the very depressing fact that this young man’s life is being cut short and that his wife and three young sons will not have his physical presence in their lives.

Every one of us is given life with the caveat of its inevitable end.  One life is no more valuable than another.  And yet, sometimes you just can’t help but feel the pain of loss.
