Today, I read the short story "The Nine Billion Names of God" by Arthur C Clarke. It is a cautionary tale about AI, technology, religion, the nature of God and the nature of the human experience. Hope you enjoy!

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (1917–2008) was a renowned English science fiction writer, futurist, and inventor, best known for his groundbreaking works that explored the possibilities of space travel and technology. Born in Minehead, Somerset, Clarke developed an early fascination with astronomy and science fiction, joining the British Interplanetary Society in 1934. His military service during World War II as a radar technician influenced his later writings.

Clarke gained fame with his novel "2001: A Space Odyssey," which he co-wrote with director Stanley Kubrick for the iconic 1968 film. This work, along with others like "Childhood's End" and "Rendezvous with Rama," solidified his status as one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers alongside Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein

In addition to his fiction, Clarke was a prolific science writer and a visionary thinker, proposing concepts such as geostationary satellites long before they became a reality. He lived in Sri Lanka from 1956 until his death, where he also pursued underwater exploration and photography. Clarke received numerous accolades, including being knighted in 1998 and awarded Sri Lanka's highest civil honor in 2005.

Airports are miracles of transportation technology.

Airports are for moving thru, not being stuck in.

Airports sell cookies. I bought some one night long ago when my plane had to wait for dust storms to end high over Phoenix's Sky Harbor.

As the song goes: this one is on me.
