Over at /dev/null/kevin there is a brilliant post on the seven most annoying SciFi kids…I won’t spoil the surprise, but all the kids you love to hate are represented, with a rationale for the position, and short clips of their “work.” Well worth a visit and a chuckle if you’re a fan of the genre.

In related sad news, Arthur C. Clarke is dead at age 90. The Laughing Squid entry on his passing is the best I’ve seen this far.
