‘Last Lecture’ professor dies at 47 – CNN.com
Most of the world thinks of him as the guy in the video giving the last lecture, the guy with the bestselling book. To me, he’s the guy who co-founded CMU’s Entertainment Technology Center and graduated tons of kids into the game industry, organized academic summits at GDC, and spearheaded the development of Alice. Not a distant author and academic, but one of us.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
As one of the aforementioned kids that he graduated into the game industry, I can say he’ll be missed. He was a demanding professor, but he certainly led his students to excel.
If there’s an afterlife, I hope I get to see what he does to the place by the time I get there.
Wow I didn’t realize he was that involved in the gaming industry. That’s actually very cool. The guy seems like he would have been a really good prof. to have in school
