Robert Masters, RIP

Robert Masters, husband of Jean Houston and cofounder and director of their Foundation of Mind Research, died Sunday morning in Ashland, Oregon.

As a developer and teacher of Human and Extended Human Capacities, Masters was a leading figure in the human potential movement. He wrote more than 30 books, including Mind Games: The Guide to Inner Space.

Rest in peace, Robert.

Randy Pausch, RIP

Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon University professor well known for his battle with pancreatic cancer and his "last lecture," died today. He was 47.

While I've heard a lot about Pausch's last lecture -- which was later expanded into a book -- I've never listened to it in full before. Time I do so, I think. Rest in peace, Randy.
