Randy Pausch, he of "Last Lecture" fame, has died of pancreatic cancer. He was 47.

How appropriate could this be for a Monday? David Allen, he of Getting Things Done , captured last fall speaking to Google employees.
I know that GTD is popular among many Objectivists, although I haven't gotten very far into it. I know what the basic premise is, and I know what "43 folders" means, but that's about it.
What I didn't know, though, was just how good a speaker David Allen is. When he states that in order to get things done, "[y]ou need to know what 'done' means, and what 'doing' looks like," I knew I'd listen to the rest of the talk.
He uses "dialogue" as a verb, but I'll let him live. It's a great talk, and a good way to spend 45 minutes of your time.
