View Master 9.0

Last night I saw the movie Avatar. What a marvelous film! Not just in the way it was made but in its story and remarkable alien planet and inhabitants. It was my first - yes, first - 3D movie. From what I understand, that's not a bad thing because this movie is the first of its kind. The technology is far superior from anything that's been used previously. But for all its 21st century techsplendor, it still took me back to my childhood and being awed by the Road Runner in full three-dimensions through my handheld View Master - click, click..."Wow! Would you look at this? Dad, how'd they do this?" "I'm not sure. Perhaps your Mother knows."

Happy 2010!
