run_ish has clearly won this contest, but I'll submit Buddy Pine anyway.

So you're hoping 2061 Odyssey Three and 3001 The Final Odyssey never get made?

Definitely.

That was an awesome article. I'd like to see an io9 article on other futuristic fonts.

This house is awesome. Just awesome. If you haven't seen it from from I-70, it looks like a spaceship has landed on the side of the mountain. These windows face toward the east, providing an excellent view of Denver (although I've never been up there to see it myself).

I actually like IKEA, but I agree the interior looks rather sterile (but that's easy enough to fix). However, I would keep the colorful chairs right out of the 1960s.

Maybe it's not the vodka. Maybe it's what you do during/after drinking the vodka?

I've never been up there. I've only see the building, probably about a thousand times, from I-70. I remember hearing that for years the inside was unfinished. (The interior shots were filmed on a set elsewhere.)

I'm not certain this counts, but here:

Did you know that in Clarke's 2010: Odyssey Two, EPCOT is a retirement/nursing home? It's where Dave Bowman's mother was living (in the book, anyway).

What? Oh, wait, I get it. Ha. Ha.

I want to see the original Donkey Kong Country. Not the version that appeared on the N64. And no, DKC Returns doesn't count (it doesn't feel the same). Nintendo released the original version on the GameBoy Color and later on the GameBoy Advance. (I think I know where my GBA is, and when I find it I'm going to play…

In Colorado, visible from I-70 west of Denver, is the "Sculptured House", a/k/a, "The Sleeper House". The property was featured in Woody Allen's film (which is where it got its nickname).

"It's Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Solar Panels."

After closing the rip between our world and the underworld, the show then closed on a cliffhanger. So I wouldn't say it ended at exactly the right moment.

I came here to find this. ThankYouVeryMuch.

Yes. Definitely.

While Star Wars was still in theaters (the first time) there happened to be a show on TV about the future of computers. One of the men being interviewed pointed out a fundamental problem with R2D2: that R2 could understand human speech but not generate it. In reality it's quite the opposite—computers can generate…

I heard the same theory about the Stradivarius violins and the mini-ice age, but I can't remember where I heard it (History channel? Discovery channel? James Burke's Connections? Dunno.) Anyway. Yeah, it's a real thing.

I still have this LP. "Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk"
