I have known Randy since 1992, and over the years I have been collecting and archiving his video lectures and newspaper articles, which I am happy to share below.
See also the background surrounding Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture", and Randy Pausch's Wikipedia page, as well as Tom Dermody's beautiful song about Randy called Once Upon a Time.
ABC ran a 1-hour special on Randy (with Diane Sawyer) on April 9, 2008. Randy's book, called "The Last Lecture", was published by Disney/Hyperion in April, 2008.
Randy has appeared in the recent Star Trek Movie in a beautifully touching context, insightfully explained by our colleague Kirk Martini.
