More Ed Catmull news this week; the first annual Randy Pausch award, commemorating the Carnegie Mellon University professor most famous for his "last lecture", will be awarded today to four time Academy Award winner and Pixar co-founder, Ed Catmull.
He was chosen because, like Pausch, he was an "industry expert who [encourages the] spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration."
Catmull will accept the prize at the McConomy Auditorium tonight, the same place were Randy presented his famous lecture. Ed’s speech will also serve as "a keynote address for the 7th Annual International Conference on Entertainment Computing".
Congratulations, Dr. Catmull!

Grats!
Congratulations, Ed. Also, just briefly, I think you meant to say “industry expert who [encourages the] spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration” It’s just a heads up.
Got it. Edited, next time please PM me. 🙂
Congratulations to Mr. Catmull!
