			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m a big fan of <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/">Microsoft’s Channel 9</a>, they produce videos, screen casts and podcasts about MS technology straight from the horse’s mouth.  By far my favourite interviewee is Bill Hill; he pushes two of my buttons, namely computer geek and typography!<br />
The C9 team have just posted part 1 of a 2 part interview with Bill about type readability on the web, <a href="I’m%20a%20big%20fan%20of%20Microsoft’s%20Channel%209,%20they%20produce%20videos,%20screen%20casts%20and%20podcasts%20about%20MS%20technology%20straight%20from%20the%20horse’s%20mouth.%20%20By%20far%20my%20favourite%20interviewee%20is%20Bill%20Hill;%20he%20pushes%20two%20of%20my%20buttons,%20namely%20computer%20geek%20and%20typography!%20%20The%20C9%20team%20have%20just%20posted%20part%201%20of%20a%202%20part%20interview%20with%20Bill%20about%20type%20readability%20on%20the%20web,%20check%20it%20out,%20the%20guy%20is%20a%20hoot.%20http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Dan/Bill-Hill-The-Future-of-Reading-on-the-Web-Part-1/%20%20">check it out</a>, the guy is a hoot.</p>

As well as writing inspirational science fiction he also predicted that, at 22,000 miles above the Earth&#8217;s surface, communications satellites would sit in geo-stationary orbit, allowing electronic signals to be bounced off them around the globe, effectively ushering in the world we know today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arthur C. Clarke, once called &quot;the first dweller in the electronic cottage&quot; passed away today, he was 90. As well as writing inspirational science fiction he also predicted that, at 22,000 miles above the Earth&#8217;s surface, communications satellites would sit in geo-stationary orbit, allowing electronic signals to be bounced off them around the globe, effectively ushering in the world we know today.</p>
<hr id="system-readmore" />
<p>Probably best know for his collaboration with Kubrick on 2001 a space odyssey I preferred the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rendezvous-Rama-Arthur-C-Clarke/dp/1857231589/ref=pd_bbs_sr_5?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1206056456&amp;sr=8-5">Rama series</a> describing mankind&#8217;s first contact with an alien civilization. He had just completed a manuscript with American author Frederik Pohl &#8211; The Last Theorem &#8211; to be published later this year, a book that will definatly be on my shelf.</p>
<p>Marking his 90th birthday last year, he told fans: &quot;I want to be remembered most as a writer. I want to entertain readers and hopefully stretch their imaginations as well. If I have given you delight by aught that I have done, let me lie quiet in that night, which shall be yours anon.&quot; </p>
<p>Goodbye. </p>
