anonymisty this is for you!

Went looking on-line for kites.  Mom was wanting one for a friend.  Found this and immediately thought of you!

edit:  There's also a rainbow ship and several other pirate themed kites, but this one is by far the best of the bunch :)

Alas, a great man has passed...

Arthur C. Clarke passed away this morning at 1:30.

I began reading Clarke's novels when I was a sophomore in high school. Still have all of the 2001 and Rama series as well as Childhood's End and several others. I know he has many other books out there that I have yet to put my hands on and read. To this day, I believe Childhood's End is my favorite of his novels.
