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.

Who Speaks for Islam?
Against our tag line of “Islam doesn’t speak, Muslims do” John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed have published a book called “Who Speaks for Islam?” What I have read so far is really promising. Gulf News is running a series of articles about the book. Worth looking at: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Also, related: Muslim Women want Equal Rights Who are Muslims? and The Queen of YouTube

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.
