  • Mrs&Mr Bill or Mrs&Mr Hillary or …

    George Rebane Here we have a measured response from ‘Dick’ Dickenson to an op-ed piece in today’s Wall Street Journal titled ‘Two Presidents in the White House’ by Sally Bedell Smith.  The small but growing band of regular RR readers will recognize Dick (please google ‘James R. Dickenson’) as the self-declared New Deal Democrat, and…

  • “Soft Skills” for Engineers – A Shot in the Other Foot

    George Rebane Folks, if I didn’t know better, I would say it was another dirty communist plot.  We have already done our best to sink the primary and secondary school systems in the country, and now we’re in the process of cooking the last goose to lay our golden eggs.  The Associated Press reports that…

  • Ruminations – 9dec2007

    George Rebane The initiative to revamp California’s electoral college make-up continues unabated.  The topic also came up with recent correspondents during which we mulled around both sides of the arguments which so far consist mostly of charges and counter charges.  It seems to me that the press could be a bit more helpful.  For example,…

  • Older Fighters Corps

    George Rebane Bill Krissoff, a Nevada County orthopedic surgeon, recently lost his son Marine 1st Lt Nathan Krissoff in Iraq.  Yesterday the Union and today NPR told how Bill Krissoff has decided to become a living memorial to his late son – Bill Krissoff has been permitted to re-up and is going to Iraq to…

  • The Singularity – A Short Overview

    George Rebane The Singularity is the name given to the most epochal event anticipated in the history of the human species Homo Sapiens Sapiens (usually shortened to H. Sapiens).  The tagline for my blog is motivated by its advent which will give rise to many of my future scribblings. Today ‘The Singularity’ is the label…

  • The Religions of Candidates

    George Rebane  We now see Mitt Romney having to explain the relationship of his faith to its non-influence on his public policy decisions.  And, of course, Hillary is already wearing the Christian cross at opportune engagements.  But when pressed, both will swear on a stack of Bibles that their Bible will have no effect on…

  • Stem Cell Story

    George Rebane (A blessed and proud father) Earlier this week, after some long and determined preparation, a wonderful thing happened.  Our 43-year-old daughter Sini wrote an account of it for family, friends, and her church which begins – “Yesterday I helped save someone’s life. I don’t know her name or where she lives or what…

  • Ruminations – 5dec2007

    George Rebane • Lutz Center under new management. Jo Ann and I have been supporters of this facility for dependent adults and intend to continue our support after it gets reorganized. Today’s Union announces a meeting this Friday at 6pm in the GV Veterans Hall of CODA (Community Organization for Dependent Adults) to discuss the…

  • It’s ALL in the Algorithm

    George Rebane Several years ago as the VP of Advanced Projects (the company’s Skunk Works) I had the privilege to assemble and work with a very talented group of PhD level engineers in the then exploding field of ecommerce.  My little team was commissioned to explore and discover new ways to monetize the online business…

  • Climate Change Revisited

    George Rebane Scientific truth is not the product of a democratic process.  All noteworthy scientific discoveries and engineering developments were made by loners swimming against the tide of well-known and accepted knowledge.  The more important and greater the discovery, the more it was at odds with the then current establishment.  But as we have seen…
