We are saddened to announce that virtual-reality pioneer Dr. Randy Pausch, 47, passed away earlier today at his home in Virginia of incurable pancreatic cancer, which was diagnosed in September 2006. Living longer than many of his doctors expected, he inspired millions with his "Last Lecture," which in expanded form became a best-selling book. He is survived by his wife, Jai, and three children, Dylan, Logan and Chloe.
Meanwhile, on the campaign trail, the Blogosphere is abuzz with the report that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama canceled a visit to wounded Soldiers at Landstuhl Medical Center, Germany, because he wouldn't be able to use the inevitable video footage as campaign material.
Peter Kirsanow has a few choice words on National Review Online.

On the other hand: Politico.com reports that the Dept. of Defense advised the Obama entourage against visiting our troops at the military hospital in Landstuhl.
