Hi. Welcome. Its my pleasure to introduce you to the first of our new universitys lectures titled Journeys lectures in which members of our community will share with us reflections and insights on their personal and professional journeys. Todays Journeys lecture as you all know is by Professor Randy Pausch. The next one is on Monday, September 24th by Professor Roberta Klatzky.
To introduce Professor Randy Pausch, our first Journeys speaker, I would like to introduce Randys friend and colleague, Steve Seabolt. Steve has been at Electronic Arts for six years and is the Vice President of Global Brand Development for The Sims label at Electronic Arts. As you all know, The Sims is one of the most, if not the most successful PC games in the world, with sales approaching over $100,000,000. Prior to that, Steve was the Vice President for Strategic Marketing and Education at EA, bridging academia and Electronic Arts. His goal was to work with academics so there was an effective educational pathway for kids with building games as their dreams. It was in that role that Randy and Steve became colleagues and friends. Before Electronic Arts, Steve was the worldwide Ad Director for Time Magazine and CEO of Sunset Publishing, which is a very favorite magazine in the Southwest, and as CEO there, one of the things he started was school tours, because like Randy he shares a passion for inspiring kids of all ages to share their excitement for science and technology.
So to introduce Randy, his friend Steve Seabolt. Steve? [applause]
Steve Seabolt, Vice President of Worldwide Publishing and Marketing for Electonic Arts (EA):
Thank you very much. I dont mean to sound ungracious by correcting you, but given that our PR people are probably watching this on webcast, Id catch heck if I went home and didnt say that it

You should check the stage when you come online. Mainly because many people are stalking the thread, waiting for you to post in it so they can. Also because it is a fun way to pass the time. Over all though, you should take into account other people's patience, and just check the stage.
