…of Lileks. On coins:
I upended the bag on the kitchen table, and whistled: wow. Junk. The dimes, for example, might fetch 10.001 cents today. I found many 1945 Mercury Dimes
Armadillo Videos
If you want a flavor of what we saw at the conference last week, Armadillo has put their latest videos on the web.
Get A Real Domain, People
They’re really cheap, and hosting is very cheap as well these days. I’ve had Blogspot banned for many months now, because the splogging had gotten totally out of control, and now I’m getting tons of spam from Live Journal. I’ll probably have to ban that as well.
We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ History
Somehow, I think that (too frequent) commenter Brian Swiderski would do quite well on the new SAT essay section.

Another Reason I’m Not A Conservative
Neal Boortz explains:
…there’s more. Sunday’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution tells us about another website, this one run by Andrew Schlafly, the son of Phyllis Schlafly. Conservapedia pushes the creationism theme with revelations that dinosaurs and humans roamed the Earth at the same time. You’ll also learn that atheism has led to a large increase in bestiality. But once again you’ll learn that not only is the Earth standing still, but it’s actually flat … and sitting still in space while everything revolves around it.
Tell me .. how do you counter the “conservatives are ignorant” argument, and how do you manage to recruit more people to the cause of lower taxes, less government and more individual responsibility when you have people running around loose calling themselves conservatives, getting elected to office as conservatives, and running websites as conservatives all the while telling us that the earth does not spin on its axis and does not revolve around the Sun .. and that everything in the known universe revolves around the Earth?

Poor Subsizing The Rich
John Miller has some comments on the New Mexico Spaceport:
On the one hand, it sounds like a great opportunity for a rural area. On the other hand, why does an “all commercial” venture need a taxpayer subsidy? Isn’t that doubly true if private spaceports really are, as advocates say, “an idea whose time has finally come”? Private space travel is attracing big-time venture capitalists, such as Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos. Should the residents of “one of the poorest regions in the nation” subsidize their highly speculative businesses?
At least sports stadiums have a sure market. Even in Detroit.
