23:41 – The end of an era

Unless you've been living under a rock or are totally illiterate and/or indifferent, you have probably also read the sad news that Arthur C. Clarke is no more.

Now is a good time to re-read those books, gathering dust at the back of the bookshelves. If it's been more than two weeks since last you did, it might also be the time to watch 2001 A Space Odyssey again.

Next time you're lost somewhere in an urban jungle, and grab your GPS or GSM to find your way out or to get help finding your way out -- remember Islands in the Sky.

"Islands in the sky" had been gathering dust at the very front of a bookshelf in my bedroom. I was very upset the whole day of 20080319 having learned of Sir Arthur's death at about 2am local time...

I started reading "Islands in the sky" having gone to bed...
