Arthur C. Clarke Turned Ninety

One of the minds behind the communications satellite and 2001: A Space Odyssey has turned ninety. I can't believe he's lived this long! That movie is one of my favorites. HAL is probably one of the best unintentional villains I've ever seen on-screen. And my undergraduate field of geography wouldn't be anyplace without the use of satellites for remote sensing and GPS observation of the Earth. Happy birthday, Mr. Clarke!
