Arthur C. Clarke made a video on his 90th birthday, three months ago. This seems to be the last public statement he made before his death. He made 3 wishes:
1. To see evidence of extraterrestrial life.
2. To break our addiction to oil and coal.
3. To see lasting peace established in Sri Lanka.

That's what you get, Mr. Minghella, for dieing on the same day as Arthur C. Clarke- no love at all. *kill

Sorry for not listing it at first, Part 2 is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsqQs0GtI4Q&feature=related

Is there another part, I didn't see anything about Antikythera in this video?

Arthur C clarks collected stories. May re-read or look for some new fantasy after. Might take a look at something from this list as i really liked the SF series. Have read the first 54 of that so far.

May revisit my dads old Heinlein too. Been a few years.

I don't think time is classified as a dimension in geometry.

I thought the fourth dimension is time. I'm sure there are dozens of people from the distant future observing me via remote wormhole cam at this very moment.

/read Arthur C Clarke's "The Light of Other Days"

Maybe not in geometry but I'm pretty sure that in physics, time is the fourth dimension. Ie; "Spacetime"

Starship Troopers needs to be remade properly, there is much that was cut out from the film. Specifically anything intelligent about it.

I also want a proper coverage of the Dune series beyond the first book, such as God Emperor of Dune specifically covering the Golden Path.

But most of all, I want to see a movie version of Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke.

Not to mention lots of stuff about the mandelbrot set- probably my favourite shape! Woohoo for Arthur C Clarke.

This construction sounds awesome.

Hell yeah I'd get on it. If you wanna read a million different cool things about glass, look for a book called "Ghost of the Grand Banks" by Arthur C. Clarke. It's mainly about raising the Titanic, but has a lot of fascinating information about glass and the implications of glass technologies.

Love it. Just bought an Arthur C Clarke "Time Odyssey" book, "Sunstorm" yesterday, although I know full well it's just his idea being ghost written by this clown Stephen Baxter.

A common misconception is that the name HAL was derived by a one letter shift from the name IBM, although this has been denied by both Arthur C. Clarke and his fictional character Dr. Chandra, who states that "by now, any idiot should know that HAL stands for Heuristic ALgorithmic".

Not my words

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke which was developed concurrently with Stanley Kubrick's film version. The story is based in part on various short stories by Clarke, most notably "The Sentinel" (1951). Kubrick collaborated with Clarke, and together they first concurrently produced the novel version that was released after the film.

The HAL 9000 computer symbolizes the progress of technology. It represents many apprehensions about technology. First, HAL is an artificial intelligence – it can mimic all of the thought processes of the human brain with greater speed and reliability. Second, its inner workings are not completely understood – even by the people who created it. HAL is an extraordinarily potent technology that cannot be fully controlled. When HAL begins to deviate from the way in which it has been programmed, this is an illustration of the apprehension many people held that our own technological development will someday come back to haunt us in surprising and unanticipated ways.

Obviously one of my favorite movies.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two
