Geekery

Not that I'm really surprised, but it would appear that the US version of Spaced is on the cards to be a right bag of cunt - http://www.denofgeek.com/television/13192/simon_pegg_on_the_us_spaced_remake.html
now, I'm only an SF geek (and not a major one at that - I dont like B5, and the only Star Trek I'll sit and watch is The Next Generation) - but surely, like the sad sacks who keep turning up for X-factor auditions, US tv execs should know by now by US adaptations of UK comedies dont have the *best* track record of success. As Pegg says though, it's particularly shitty that no credit at all is given to Jessica Stevenson for her work on it.

And on the SF subject, this - http://www.halproject.com/hal/ - has a superb screensaver to download based on the computer displays seen aboard the Discovery during 2001.
