Understanding the Sub Prime Crisis
I have been incredibly confused about how sub prime mortgages have had the kind of disastrous ripple effect on the economy. Thank goodness there is a web comic to explain it all. It's funny and enlightening.
In Memoriam
A sci-fi author I greatly enjoy, David Brin, pays his respects to Arthur C. Clarke. Clarke's work influenced more than just the sci-fi genre and I certainly respect him and his contributions. Cannot say I love his writing, though.
Dune Re-Make
And we learn that another Dune film is in the works. Not a huge fan of Dune, either. The David Lynch film was flawed but had some great moments. The Sci-Fi Channel mini-series delved deeper into the ideas in the book but was hamstrung by some truly terrible acting. I doubt this can be successfully adapted in a single film.
