My thoughts on the deficiency of public education (and education in general), over at PJM.
Space Conestogas
I have a piece on Bigelow’s recent announcements at Popular Mechanics.
Off To The Bay Area
We’re driving up to Walnut Creek tonight, and then I’m going to be at the Space Manufacturing Conference at Ames in Mountain View on Saturday and Sunday. Probably not much posting until tomorrow.
The Failed War
Hoist On Their Own Petard
The PC police are going after NPR. Delicious.
The Martingale Strategy Of The Left
It doesn’t work any better with social change than it does with games of chance. With leftism, the coin never comes up heads.
And David Solway writes that we shouldn’t rely on the children of the left to run our affairs.
The Decline And Fall
…of Halloween.
When I was a kid, Halloween was for kids. And then I grew up and didn’t care about it any more (like, when I hit my teens). But apparently, many of my generation never wanted to grow up. One more Boomer-caused societal disaster.
Birds Of A Feather
Iowahawk has the transcript of the meeting between the “progressive” bloggers and the president. But remember, he’s a moderate!
It’s pretty funny (as would be expected).
The Barack Obama Cargo Cult
…is collapsing.
Two years too late, unfortunately.
Building Confidence In Climate Models
Thoughts on verification and validation from Judith Curry. With the usual nonsense about “denialists” in comments.
