According to police, Edward Davidson, the “spam king” whose wife helped him break out of a minimum security prison, has killed himself, his wife, and a child yesterday. He was famous for getting rich off of the stupid people who respond to unsolicited bulk e-mail advertisements.

I recently read Dr. Pausch's book, The Last Lecture, and found it quite profound. His attitude in the face of his untimely illness was inspiring to people all over the country. I know he will be mourned by many; he truly left a memorable series of lessons for his children and family. I don't think I will ever forget watching his lecture. Carpe Diem: work hard and love one another!
