  • Singularity Signposts – 9nov2008

    George Rebane Imagine a bicycle seat connected by mechanical frames to a pair of shoes for an idea of how the new wearable assisted-walking gadget from Honda works. The experimental device, unveiled Friday, is designed to support bodyweight, reduce stress on the knees and help people get up steps and stay in crouching positions. Honda…

  • The Late Great California

    George Rebane This weekend Paul Krugman in the NYT ( ‘The Obama Agenda’ ) tells half the country that there’s something wrong with them because they were not teary-eyed when Obama was elected.  He also advises the president-elect to go forward with his big socialistic plans – damn the torpedoes and all that.  And he…

  • Consensus Science??!!

    George Rebane Dr. Michael Crichton M.D., the Harvard educated physician and one of the greatest techno-thriller authors of all time, died yesterday.  Besides leaving a string of page-turners that were technically accurate/plausible, the man was also a bit of a philosopher of science.  At this time of mass hysterias over incomprehensible topics sweeping an under-educated…

  • Security and President-Elect Obama

    George Rebane No matter what our individual political or ideological stripes are, no true American wants any harm to come to their duly elected leadership.  We are first a nation of laws and not of vigilante vengeance.  Because of his mixed racial background, President-elect Obama’s security coverage presents special concerns that will soon be picked…

  • Ruminations – 6nov2008

    George Rebane Sad to read Light on Nevada County and Dixie Fix, both reporting on the closing of more sales tax generating retail establishments.  Buy locally and often whenever you can. Heard that our beloved Onion has shut down a prominent blogger on its Election 08 section.  Wonder what mortal sin was committed this time to…

  • Oh My!

    George Rebane These eyes have seen many presidential elections, but none like this one.  I’m still walking around the house, tea cup in hand, in semi-shock.  Yesterday when the sun set we were hanging by a thin thread of hope that ‘that change’ would not come to pass.  It was not to be.  The community…

  • Vote Early and Often in Nevada County? (updated)

    George Rebane At a bon voyage dinner party last night for some couples leaving for a month-long South American cruise, we heard a most incredible story.  One friend, who lives in Morgan Ranch, reported receiving six (like in 6) absentee ballots, each with a different control number, during the course of the last three or…

  • Unclear on the Concept

    George Rebane ‘Link Journalism’ is fast sweeping the internet, and yet its meaning remains hazy to some.  The intent of sites like Drudge Report and RealClearPolitics that practice link journalism is to provide links from their originating site to other sites that contain the material in its originally published form.  Providing such content connectivity makes…

  • Ruminations – 3nov2008

    George Rebane The MSM continue their one-sided coverage of the Obama vision of change.  Here is a video of our new leader-in-waiting that should shock the living you-know-what out of history students.  The man actually proposes to launch what he calls a “Civilian National Security Force” that is “just as powerful, just as strong, just as…
