I bought a copy of Dr. Strangelove last weekend. I hadn't seen it in years, so I had the joy, once again, of discovering all the the little gems buried in the movie.
"You can't fight here! This is a War Room!"
To really appreciate the movie, you have to understand it in the context of the early '60s with the commie scare, the bomb scare, and, yes, the floridated water scare.
So where is the moviemaker today who'll do a comedy about terrorism, Al Queda, homeland security -- with a side jab or two at intellegent design? Yes, we really do need to laugh while we watch the World Trade Centers burn -- otherwise the terrorists win.
Remember at the end of Strangelove the doomsday device was triggered while George C. Scott was warning the president about the "mine shaft gap."

I've been programming for 30+ years in more languages that I can count. I've been weaving (as in cloth) for several years. Weaving and computers mix well. My newest obsession (if you don't count the bike I just bought) is learning to play the upright bass. My even newer obsession is contra dancing.
I am also "the kind of person that keeps a parrot" (see the Mark Twain quote)
