I took a picture of Jaq the Cat by the light of my iMac screen on Sunday morning, and something about the way it lit up his furry little face reminded me of David Bowman's enigmatic final words from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Coincidentally, Canadian actor Douglas Rain, who so perfectly provided the voice of the HAL 9000 computer in both 2001 and its undervalued sequel, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, passed away on Remembrance Day this past weekend at the age of 90. It must be interesting for an actor to be best known for a role in which his character doesn't even have a face, let alone having his own face be seen.
