Douglas Adams and Dire Straits

May 11, 2004, was the third anniversary of Douglas Adams untimely death. He wrote The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series and several other interesting and entertaining books. Hitchhikers is finally being made into a movie. The website is H2G2. They just put it up today, but looks like it will be fun to watch as they finish the movie.

Adams had a really neat sense of humor and died of a heart attack at age 49. Here's a site that has a good biography --> DouglasAdams.com. The Hitchhikers Trilogy (there's actually 5 books, LOL) is required reading for the sho' nuff uber geeks. BBC did a series back some years ago that ran on PBS in the States. It was fun, but the movie should be awesome with all the improvements in special effects. Interesting note; Douglas was a fan of Dire Straits and was said to have written most of these books with their music playing in the background. This cat had good taste in music!

Hi Ho Hi Ho, off to an extremely long day of work. It will end very late. Everyone have a better than expected day.
