2001 EXPLAINED. Not very long ago, this blog reached another milestone: 2001 visits! But what does that 2001 mean? I wish I knew...it's all so confusing!

Which brings me to 2001: A Space Odyssey. For about ten years after that movie came out, it was quite common for sci-fi buffs to pass the hours pondering its meaning. To cite one instance, I remember young David Bernstein sketching the spaceship and explaining that it was a phallic symbol. Damn if he wasn't right!

Which brings me to Kubrick2001: the space odyssey explained, a website that, in a way, approximates how HAL might've passed the hours if HAL had been infected with a 2001-explaining virus.

Thanks to Dave Monroe of pynchon-l for sharing the link.
