2001 in 2008

I couldn't sleep last night so while I was I decided to watch 2001: a space odyssey which is now 40 years old. I remember seeing this in the theater with my dad when I was a kid and it's held up pretty well over time (although i doubt I'll be seeing either PanAm or Howard Johnson's as brands in outer space anytime soon).

The movie reminded me of a time when we gazed at the heavens, looked to the stars and said, "Why not?"

I also realized more than one computer around here has the temperament, if not the technology of the HAL 900.
