Douglas Adams - Virtual 60th Birthday Party
There will be an event at Hammersmith Apollo on Sunday 11th March 2012 to mark what would have been Douglas's 60th birthday. It was mentioned on the SaveTheRhino Facebook page yesterday with this description: "The event will feature science, music, comedy and interviews with some very special guests, including Brian Cox, Robin Ince, Terry Jones, Dara O’Briain, Stephen Mangan and many more. The main reason for their post was that they are having a competition to design a logo for the event. Closing date is midday on Wednesday 23 November 2011.

h2g2.com
h2g2.com the website set up by Douglas's company, The Digital Village, in 1999 to be "an unconventional guide to life, the universe, and everything" was taken over by the BBC in 2001, but with the cuts to the BBC's online budget that were announced in January the site was under threat of closure. A number of organisations came forward expressing an interest in taking the site over and some of these coalesced into a consortium which led to the creation of a company called Not Panicking Ltd. that includes Douglas's old partner in The Digital Village, Robbie Stamp. The transferred site went live yesterday at h2g2.com Hitchhiker's News from ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha. |
