I have a couple more thoughts, over at Open Market.
Meteor Watching
Should be a good weekend for the Perseids. The moon isn’t new, but it will be out of the way for most of the night.
Deep Sea Mining
It’s about to start. Note that this is not being done under the auspices of the socialist seabed authority under the Law of the Sea Treaty.
Obama’s Reelection
The case against it.
The problem with Romney is that he is non-ideological, which makes his positions on issues hard to predict, and which also makes it hard for him to recognize an ideology in others and argue against it.
The Glass Half Empty
Explained, by xkcd. This experiment is much safer than the high-speed baseball pitch, but still, don’t try it at home.
Sperm Whales
Sleep vertically. An interesting picture.
The Colorado Shooting Spree
Explained: it was caused by Canadian PM Harper cutting climate-change funding.
Of course! It’s so obvious now. Why didn’t I think of that?
Capitalism In Space
I have a piece up at National Review Online today, on the current state of play in human spaceflight.
The Lost Decade
If these stories are true, it explains a lot.
The Makers Versus The Moochers
The Rachels built America. The Sandras just feed off it. Just like the Julias.
