Moving on

I have decided to close "There is a blog that does not exist."

My new personal blog is: Praeter Necessitatum.

Please continue reading my blog at the new site.

Arthur C. Clarke dies at 90

The New York Times reports that Arthur C. Clarke, author of numerous popular science fiction novels and stories, died today at his home in Sri Lanka. The story is available here.

Next to Philip K. Dick, Clarke is my favorite science fiction writer. His ability to weave deep philosophical problems into his stories made we quite fond of him.
