Over at Geeks Are Sexy, I saw this video as a tribute to the recently departed Grand Master of science fiction, Ray Bradbury.
I include the picture for the curious juxtaposition of the title of the tribute video with the sidebar add. The video itself is geeky and rather silly, although, to my staid and conservative way of thinking, more disrespectful than edgy.
Note that I have never aspired to be like Ray Bradbury, in the same way that hamsters never aspire to be like the strong nuclear force. The contextual comparison between writers like me and the fundamental fabric of the science fiction universe makes such aspirations not merely presumptuous, but nonsensical.
