  • Ruminations – 16mar2012

    George Rebane We watched a DVRd recent ’60 Minutes’ piece on a fifty year program by Texas ranchers to conserve over 150 African game species on their own range lands.  Through their own efforts they have taken contributions from the nation’s zoos and built up the herds/flocks, in the process saving many species that were…

  • The Candyass Republicans (9mar12 update)

    George Rebane The subject of this post is the candyass response of Republican politicians to the Limbaugh/Fluke imbroglio. On ‘The Sad Tale of Sandra Fluke’ and extensive comment stream continues to (finally) air the destructive twists and turns of Obamacare that once more revealed the Left’s intentions on the breadth of entitlements subsidizing personal recreation,…

  • The Sad Tale of Sandra Fluke (updated 6mar12)

    George Rebane That Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut is a debate for other fora, but I do want to reflect on the broader ramifications of having the state pay for the prophylactics used in sexual intercourse.  The practice is hugely supported by the left because it underwrites another cut to the traditional cultural…

  • TechForum2012 inaugurates a new community event

    George Rebane This afternoon TechForum2012 passed into history as a wonderfully successful new type of luncheon speaker series focusing on the accelerating technologies that will affect all of us in how we work, play, learn, live long, and prosper.  The event was sponsored by the Sierra Economics and Science Foundation to support its ongoing and…

  • Racist?

    George Rebane One need only consider the aftermath of Republicans Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, or Paul making such an appeal for voters of their color to stand together in the 2012 election.  But there is much more in this video than can be absorbed in one viewing.  Take your time and please visit AFRICANAMERICANS.BARACKOBAMA.COM.

  • America’s Technical Talent Slide vs TechForum

    George Rebane The fraction of technical workers in America stopped increasing in 2000, and actually decreased until 2006 when it seemed to flatten out.  Now that fraction has started going down again.  All during this time foreign-born scientists and engineers have been making up more and more of this meager workforce, working in professions that…

  • Occupy vs TeaParty – A comparative summary

    George Rebane The following table arrived from a correspondent and RR reader.  We note the similarities in the two movements.  Edifying.

  • New thoughts on Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Education (2feb12 update)

    George Rebane A recent study by Vivek Wadhwa of the Singularity University published in the MIT Technology Review reports that older techies start more successful technology based companies than do those still a little damp behind their ears.  This contradicts a long-held myth. The Kaufman Foundation which gathered data for the study states that a…

  • Ruminations – 28jan2012

    George Rebane Woke up a couple of days ago to a National Propaganda Radio segment on business; those guys sure know how to report them.  Big ballyhoo on Obama’s visit to Intel’s new, highly roboticized chip manufacturing plant, slated to be the largest in the world when it kicks into gear.  The CCO sang loud…
