Book Review
Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee: Rama II. ⭐️⭐️ Science Fiction. Pub 1989
Blurb: 70 years after the events of Rendezvous with Rama, a second Raman vessel enters our solar system. Its arrival is expected and an expedition is sent to unlock more of Rama's mysteries, but the crew are unprepared both for what they find and for the conflicts that arise between them.
Oh boy. Disappointing, and I regret getting the entire series before reading this, part 2 - not sure if I’ll read the rest of them. In this unsatisfying second installment there was too much of the following:
1. Religion. Why not just send the pope along with the crew? Alternate title “Catholics in Space” would fit. 2. Earth politics/intrigue (not intriguing at all). Yawn. 3. Sort of romance within the crew. (And a screwy back story about an affair/secret baby a crew member conceived with the King of Great Britain? Nope.) 4. And even the science aspects were just plain dull. What a slough, but I read the whole thing. My advice is Skip it.
Rama II by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee
1990
Full of extraordinary footage, Robert Stone's blissed-out mind-bender of a movie meditates on the possibilities of life in the universe.

The World of dBASE with Gentry Lee (1984)
Description from an earlier upload:
An instructional video on how to begin using dBASE. Created by Software Video Productions in 1984. The video is quite well produced, and does an admirable job of trying to explain a database product that has what is, in retrospect, an unnecessarily difficult interface, More info on dBASE can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBase. This was captured from laserdisc by me; the only post-processing was 30i to 60p deinterlacing, video noise reduction, and editing both laserdisc sides together into a single video. Even with reduction, there is nothing that can be done about the laserdisc "rot" towards the middle of the video as that was the end of one side of the disc, but as soon as the second side begins, the video noise is gone (laser rot usually affects only one side of a disc).
My mind wants to find a direction of its own when is not being used for chores such as processing the billions of pieces of data coming from all the others cells in my body.
