Arthur C. Clarke

Sadly, we have lost a great scientific mind, as well as an amazing science fiction writer today, with the death of Arthur C. Clarke. Battling post-polio syndrome since the 1960s and often being forced to use a wheelchair, Clarke's mind carried him out into space.

I was familiar with many of his works of fiction, but didn't realize that "his landmark technical paper "Extra-terrestrial Relays" in which he first set out the principles of satellite communication with satellites in geostationary orbits - a speculation realized 25 years later. During the evolution of his discovery, he worked with scientists and engineers in the USA in the development of spacecraft and launch systems, and addressed the United Nations during their deliberations on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space." from The Arthur C. Clarke Foundation

Rest in peace, Sir Arthur.

Stargate SG-1 Finale

For 10 years, I have been a die-hard fan of Stargate SG-1 and was devastated when I heard that this was the last season. Anticipating something amazing, I tuned into the series finale tonight.

Without giving anything away, just in case you didn't watch, I was seriously underwhelmed. Surely they would - literally or metaphorically - go out with a bang. But, they didn't; not really.

SG-1 - we'll miss you terribly! Couldn't you have done more with your last 48 minutes?
