  • President Obama’s Policies for a Real World

    George Rebane [This post is really a focused continuation of topics raised by James Currier in the comments to ‘Obama, you gotta love him!’.  For now I will simply characterize James as an educated, left-leaning, successful capitalist, although he may correct me as he has in the past 😉  His views are important to those…

  • Obama, you gotta love him!

    George Rebane Somebody once said that politics is the art of the possible.  To get elected, you pick a constituency or two that you can lie to with a straight face.  Push all their hot buttons, it doesn’t matter what you say as long as they’re part of the base that will get you to…

  • Singularity Signposts – 1jan2009

    George Rebane Controlling complex things with just thought has now been demonstrated by the company Emotiv Systems.  I featured this revolutionary human-machine interface in the 15aug08 Singularity Signpost  (please read for background) to give RR readers a heads up (pun intended) on the rapidity with which exotic technologies are being brought to fruition as we…
