Obligatory “I’m still waiting for the UFO reboot” comment.

Who knows what apps won’t work though.. Like my Game Play gameboy emulator

You’re right. Rocket Man is awesome. Perhaps he should have called him “Fruit Loops”instead?

He was the man who basically shaped my childhood (and my adult childhood). I’m certain all of us HM and PotC fans will be thinking of him today.

But it’s odd to have Ben sort of play that role as a child now

Since we’re sharing first time memories, my first exposure to Pournelle (and Niven, for that matter) was this little anthology of articles and short stories called “Black Holes”

“[I]f you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

I think this looks cool.

The Day After traumatized an entire generation

I saw Close Encounters with my family at the Cooper Theatre (Cooper Cameo, that is) on Colorado Blvd in Denver in ‘77. The Cooper theaters (there were 3 nationwide) were famous for their giant curved screens. I was 13, and it was the best summer ever (e.g., Star Wars).
