Congratulations, Emily ...

Saturday, May 3, 2008, Emily graduated from the Utah State University with a Bachelor's degree in Family Consumer and Human Development.

As you know, I "pride" myself on being a competent amateur photographer. I was especially excited when it was announced that a family member could come forward to take a picture as the candidates walked across the stage after received their diploma. So, congratulations, Emily, and always prominently display your photo!

"Eye of God" ...

This photo taken by the Hubble Telescope has been named the "Eye of God" by NASA. Could it be?

Great News! Emily is walking Saturday, May 3, at 2:00 pm in Logan. If you are able to attend, give her a call for more details. For those attending in person, we will gather somewhere afterwards for a party (fun and merriment).

Arthur C. Clarke ...

Anyone remember Arthur C. Clarke? When I was in college he was a very prominent science fiction writer, much read by engineering students like myself. He was among the most influential visionaries in technology. Today, many of the concepts he wrote about have come to pass. He once said:

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Arthur C. Clarke died today at the age of 90. Along with his many written works (such as the infamous and immeasurably influential 2001: A Space Odyssey), Clarke was possibly best known for conceptualizing the geostationary communications satellite -- clearly one of the most important technological innovations in history.
