2001: The Making of a Myth (made in 2001)

Although your time is both short and precious, this 45 minute documentary on the making of 2001 is worthy of it.

Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick will be missed and remembered forever.

A cool thing I discovered this evening is that I am mentioned in Wikipedia for something I designed back in 1983.

This was a Z80 based computer kit that sold in Australia for about $100. I made the original circuit and programmed the ROM, my friend Ken Stone designed the final PCB art and got it ready in a kit form for Talking Electronics magazine.

I was amused to discover that the design was even knocked off and cloned. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrbill/sets/739140/

Fun times.
