Just up the road from InventHelp’s headquarters in Pittsburgh sits Carnegie Mellon University, one of the nation’s elite schools and a perpetual hotbed of technological progress. Recently, Carnegie Mellon and the computer science world at large lost an inspirational leader when died of pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his wife, Jai, and three young children.

Pausch shot to fame in September 2007 when he delivered “The Last Lecture” to a packed house at CMU. Faced with the news that he had three to six months of good health left, Pausch resolved to create an upbeat “final pep talk” for his family, students and friends. Titled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” the lecture has been viewed more than 4 million times on YouTube and the story behind the lecture became a best-selling novel.

If you’re like me, InventHelp’s Invention Girl, then you’re also having trouble believing that it’s already time to move those clocks forward an hour. And it’s not your imagination – 2008 is the first year that Daylight Savings Time was extended by two months. That means I’ll have to set my alarm clock ahead one hour this weekend if I don’t want to show up late for my job at InventHelp on Monday! Read More >>

Update: You may recall my InventHelp blog post a few weeks ago about an uncontrollable U.S. spy satellite that had scientists concerned that it would plummet to Earth, causing damage or injury to anyone in the vicinity.

InventHelp’s Invention Girl is pleased to report that according to Pentagon reports, there is now no danger from debris or potential hazard from the satellite’s fuel tank.

You might want to keep your head up in the next few weeks – and, if you see something the size of a small bus hurtling toward your head, by all means, run!

A large U.S. spy satellite, which is now no longer in NASA’s control, could hit Earth’s surface in late February or March.
