Mexico City Blues
The New York Times yesterday ("2022-05-24T21:54:19.000Z")
on a Saturday, May 21, death —
"Colin Cantwell, an animator, conceptual artist and computer expert
who played significant production roles in seminal science fiction films
like '2001: A Space Odyssey,' 'Star Wars' and 'WarGames,' died
on May 21 at his home in Colorado Springs, Colo. He was 90."

Space Wars: Sith Pyramid vs. Jedi Cube
For the Sith Pyramid, see posts tagged Pyramid Game.
For the Jedi Cube, see posts tagged Enigma Cube
and cube-related remarks by Aitchison at Hiroshima.
This post was suggested by two events of May 16, 2019 —
A weblog post by Frans Marcelis on the Miracle Octad
Generator of R. T. Curtis (illustrated with a pyramid),
and the death of I. M. Pei, architect of the Louvre pyramid.
That these events occurred on the same date is, of course,
completely coincidental.
Perhaps Dan Brown can write a tune to commemorate
the coincidence.
