  • From Human Obsolescence to Technology Ebooks and Climate Models

    "… of shoes and ships and sealing wax/ of cabbages and kings.",  Lewis Carroll George Rebane (Written 31mar12; no time to write today Sunday, I'm pulling my scheduled club duty as rangemaster at the local rifle/pistol range.) On this blustery and wet Saturday morning I gathered together a few of the piles of notes I…

  • North Korea saves planet (again)

    George Rebane Shown below, we and our neighbors once more had our traditional annual celebration of ‘Save the Earth’ done a wee bit differently than the poor wretches in North Korea under the heel of their celebrated Good/Dear/Beloved/…/Bullshit Leader.  Those poor schlubs are forced to celebrate Earth Hour every night, while year after year we…

  • 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.

  • 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.
