Tangent: Macs, Sci-Fi, a Beautiful Eulogy

Once, I say, I am a huge fan of Apple Computers and the Mac OS. I’m also a Sci-Fi guy; not über-geek, but a fan. So I’m also really looking forward to the release of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s no secret that Douglas Adams was a fan of the Mac as well. One of Adams’ friends has written a beautiful piece about Adams. You should read it. It not only brings together some of my interests, but it’s a good piece of writing.

I can’t run it by myself and would like to hear if others, Isma’ili or not, would be willing to help start something up before letting the Wiki have its way.

A Self-Reflexive Moment

  3. Ghost Dog, just so you know how culturally clueless you are, it’s Princess Leia, and Yoda PJs.
    EK, the article is about Douglas Adams and talks about his love for Macs.
