  • We’ve been meaning to post this, but it kept slipping my mind in the rush to get some news up here. Anyway, as many of you know, author Douglas Adams passed away this past weekend at the age of 49. Adams is most famous for his “Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy” series of books, which influenced countless other books, movies, and computer games that followed it over the years. In fact, I became familar with Adams’ work while playing the classic Infocom text game on my Commodore 64 many, many years ago (Now I feel old). Play it free of charge online HERE by the way, if you like. You may also recall that Kevin listed Adams in his “Thanks” section of the Dogma credits. Adams himself had been attempting to get the Hitchhiker’s Guide motion picture made over the years. Hopefully this will still happen but without his influence, it just won’t be the same. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Mr. Adams. So Long, and Thanks for all the Laughs.
