85 cubic feet of Arthur C. Clarkes papers, shipped from his home in Sri Lanka. Including a high-school notebook, where the young Clarke rated the science fiction stories he read. And an early draft of Clarkes 2001: A Space Odyssey. Over at Smithsonian Magazine, Bruce Sterling talks about poring over these papers, and seeing how the conversations between Clarke and director Stanley Kubrick shaped the development of 2001. One choice tidbit: As [Clarke and Kubrick] worked together, conjuring up the novel and the film, correspondence reveals a preoccupation with the Cube later transmuted into the Monolith . Responding to Clarkes suggestion in 1966 that the Cube communicate directly with the man-apes who would one day populate the film, Kubrick instead advocates an enigmatic presence: We see only the hypnotic image appear and the spellbound faces of the man-apes.

In 12th grade, I was allowed to attend a computer science class at Monroe High School. To give you an idea of the technology back then, we used an acoustic coupler modem and a teletype terminal. So when you wrote programs in Basic and Fortran for the computer, you ;d type in your programs on the teletype, and you 821 stanley butelka 7;d hear it firing as it punched in your program. It was kind of like magic to me. I could write programs on this terminal that connects to this computer brain that make it do what I wanted it to do. But back to that class. We had a teacher who gave us an assignment to write a Fortran program to find the first 100 Fibonacci numbers, and I thought that was a pretty boring assignment. So instead, I wrote the first phishing program. I called it a Login Simulator. Back then, when a student or teacher would log into the computer, they ;d type in Hello, and the computer would prompt them to enter their account number and passwo stanley termosy rd. So my program simulated that login screen, store their account information in a file, stanley cup and then log them in so they were none the wiser.
