Arthur C. Clarke accurately describes the 21st century...in 1976 - CNET

While other futurists predicted flying cars and robots everywhere, Clarke was more interested in where communication was headed, and his predictions are remarkably accurate decades later.

Dear America: Meet Bernie Sanders. Properly, this time.

Time to set the record straight.

I need to collect all of the Bernie Sanders images/quotes I’ve collected from FB and turn them into an animated gif...  #project

I’m still skeptical... but out of all of the politicians he sounds like the best bet....

The Wheel of Time

Just heard about the first batch of casting for the Wheel of Time adaption.  Very exciting news.  The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan is one of my favorite series and one of the reasons why I don’t like to start new series until they are completely done!  

I read the first four books in the early 90′s when I was in high school and was hooked.  I had to wait almost 20 years for the series to be completed.  Agony!  

The 14 books are massive volumes and total just about 12,000 pages.  If you listen to the audio version it will take you 19 days and 5 1/2 hours.

I’m hopeful it will turn out much better than that uber weird 30 minute pilot that aired in the middle of the night! 

Another reason why I like to know an entire series is done before I start?  Well, in addition to having to wait 20 years to finish the series, the author passed away before he finished the last book.  Needless to say, I have not read the GOT series or watched the show and will definitely be waiting until the books are finished!
