  • Happy Fourth – An American Celebration!

  • Media Bias

    George Rebane First, H/T to Bob Crabb where I first saw this graphic of ‘media bias’ before going to another site to filch a good copy of it.  Now I have several problems with where some outlets are placed on this chart, but I’ll keep them to myself until readers have had a chance to…

  • Memorial Day – 28 May 2018

    George Rebane Once more we gratefully contemplate the terrible price paid by those who gave their all so that America may remain the land of opportunity and the home of the free.  The words and photo from Memorial Day – 30 May 2011 still apply, and this video will explain the cost.

  • Sapir-Whorf on the Art of Coding and the Communications Conundrum

    George Rebane In his ‘Code to Joy’ essay (featured in the Jun-Jul 2018 issue of 1843, the Economist’s bi-monthly features magazine), science writer and author Andrew Smith almost discovers Sapir-Whorf.  But not quite, and therein lies a tale.  The man had been writing about computer technology and its impact on our lives for most of…

  • Stephen Hawking, RIP

      Dr Stephen Hawking, Physicist (1942 – 2018)

  • A Holy Day not a holiday

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:23 George Rebane A merry and joyous Christmas wish from the Rebanes (this year we are joined by our Southern Tribe – the Esteys – and our…

  • A Little Puzzle (updated 30dec17)

    George Rebane This little puzzle recently came to my attention.  A ring of radius R is tossed randomly onto a large grid of unit squares as shown below.  The toss will score only if the ring intersects two or three squares – rings 1 and 2 will score.  If the ring intersects only one or…

  • Still Counting Our Blessings

    George Rebane As we again look forward to a family gathering at Casa Rebane, Jo Ann and I wish all of our readers and their families a most happy and meaningful Thanksgiving.  We live in a land still blessed.  Here are a couple of related readings appropriate for the holiday – ‘The Desolate Wilderness’, ‘And…
