Several years ago a friend of mine introduced me to the “The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy” by Douglas Adams.  I started reading the book on business trips and frequently remember having several people staring at me in airports as I was laughing hysterically.

I read all four books in the trilogy (Douglas used to joke about this); “The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe”, “Life, The Universe And Everything”, and “So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish”.  I couldn’t put them down.

Douglas left the earth early in May of 2001, he was 49.  A couple of years before that, he wrote a marvelous essay on the subject “How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet“.   This essay is 10 years old and still makes sense today.  Take some time and read it, but also go out and get yourself a copy of the The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and let me know if you laughed at the same things I did.

Later,
matt
