Randy Pausch age 47 died Friday, July 25th well past the deadline the doctors had given him. Having had a chance to really give a last lecture, he mentions wanting to be Captain Kirk. Then he talks about having met William Shatner. The lecture, which will blow you away with his insight, is on YouTube

I'm not sure if its been stated on this site or if everyone's aware but Dr. Pausch has a cameo in 'Star Trek'. He even got to deliver a line.

In his blog (here) he shows a copy of the check he received for his bit part with one line on the new Star Trek movie. He had donated it to charity.

Further down, I find a pic of the autograph given to him by Bill Shatner. He was at the university many times while researching for his book "We're Working On That".
