  • Ruminations – 18mar2008

    George Rebane ‘War fades as story’ – now that we are making progress, the media’s interest have waned. But then, why advertize the other side’s successes?  As a story it should/could have faded much earlier and saved both American and Iraqi lives.  A broader look at this by the Miami Herald is provided here. One…

  • Singularity Signposts – 17mar2008

    George Rebane New Prosthesis has a bigger role to play.  Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway and one of the true geniuses of our time, accepted a challenge from the Department of Defense to develop a prosthetic that gives the radical at-the-shoulder amputee an arm and hand that truly replicates almost all the functions of…

  • Postcards into a Fearsome Future – A Dialogue with Evan Jones

    George Rebane The reader joining this dialogue thread in the middle may want to first read Evan Jones’ piece ‘Who Decides?’ on communicating climate change to the masses (published on Watts Up With That) to which I responded in ‘Who Indeed Decides?’ on Ruminations that drew a thoughtful reply from Evan Jones.  This piece seeks…

    George Rebane Blog does not have to register.  Blogger Art Segal (letorovalleyexcel.blogspot.com) of Oro Valley, Arizona had a brief but illuminating go-around with the town council.  Since he was vocal about which politicians he backed and opposed, the town leaders tried to stifle him by telling him he had to register as a “political committee”. …

    George Rebane You’re walking down a busy city street and stop at a window that is displaying what the sign says is a Han dynasty bronze lamp.  Intrigued about the beautiful artifact of a bygone age you want to know more about the Han dynasty.  Without moving your lips or making a sound, you form…

    George Rebane TV is changing.  It is merging with the internet, or is the internet merging with TV.  It doesn’t matter, with broadband connectivity that is not mediated by government, content will follow the eyeballs.  Take at look at this new service www.hulu.com . Global Warming: No Urgent Danger; No Quick Fix   With a nod…

  • The GV City Council Responds

    George Rebane Just got back from the Grass Valley City Council meeting still in session.  During the early public comments/questions segment I was able to ask the council directly as to the truth of rumors that the city is planning to lay off first responders and staff, and possibly even consider filing for bankruptcy. Mayor…
