Probably has a lot to do with “2010: The Year We Make Contact” being one of my favourite sci-fi movies. Really enjoyed the book the movie is based on,“2010: Odyssey Two” by Arthur C. Clarke as well, although I admit I watched the movie long before ever reading the book. If you enjoy reading science fiction which leans a bit more towards science fact than fantasy, I highly recommend the entire Odyssey series which include, “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “2010: Odyssey Two”, “2061: Odyssey Three” and “3001: The Final Odyssey”. Also, check out the movie 2010 if you haven’t seen it, but you might want to watch “2001: A Space Odyssey” first to brush up on the back story, but skip the last 10 minutes of the movie, it’s not worth your time. Everything leading up to that point is pretty good however.

Looking back at 2009, the most popular Art of Geek blog post was “Lock your Mac’s screen like in Windows, Snow Leopard edition”, which received a lot of comments from people who just didn’t seem to understand why we didn’t just use Mac OS X’s screen saver locking feature. Regardless, it’s nice to see so many early adopters of Snow Leopard visiting!

Sorry for the short post, but it’s late, and I want to squeeze in a viewing of 2010 before I hit the sack. :)
