The Nutritional Junk Science
…of our government nannies (and ninnies). My thoughts, over at PJMedia.
Will Computer Wonders Never Cease?
In addition to booting on my new motherboard, Fedora 21 (unlike Fedora 20) will boot on my laptop. So after almost a year of having to live with Windows 8.1 on the road, I’ll have a dual-boot machine again after I get it installed and configured.

A Scarcity Of Start Ups
You’ll be as shocked as me to discover that it strongly correlates with an increase in influence peddling.
The Wright Anniversary
It’s been 111 years. On the centennial, eleven years ago, I wrote three pieces. One at Fox News, one at TechCentralStation (which later became TCSDaily), and one at National Review on line.

Friday’s Barge Landing
Here‘s the SpaceX press release. Note that no government agency is funding them to do this. It’s actual internal R&D, a rarity in this industry, at least up until now.

They may not land on Friday, but they’ll be a lot closer to being able to do it.
