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.

“My Fellow American” Launches

It serves as a call-to-action for people of all faiths to stand up against this climate of hate speech and Islamophobia.

Any person who dresses up as Queen Amidala and has Jar Jar P’jamies is an uber-geek. We at MIT salute you.
Wait, so why did you drag MACs into this? SciFi is great. Everyone loves geeks except for the dim. HG is sure to be great. Where do macs fit in?
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.
