  • Internet in 2020

    George Rebane   NetworkWorld, one of the respected technical trade rags, has a collection of predictions for the Internet one decade from now.  Their editors characterize these as “foolproof”.  The Association for Computing Machinery summarizes the list below – 1. As computer scientists work to improve the Internet’s design, the global network is expected to…

  • New Study on States in Peril

    George Rebane The venerable Pew Charitable Trusts’ Center on the States has just released a new report ‘Beyond California: States in Fiscal Peril’ (more summary material here and here.)  The report documents what students of the American scene (that includes the astute RR readers) have known for some years now – legislating un/underfunded programs of social…

  • Ruminations – 5sep2009 (updated)

    George Rebane Van Jones is one of the more outspoken and now visible socialist radicals (a self-declared communist) in the Obama administration.  The record of his outrageous remarks and speeches has now come to light and given rise to several members of Congress to call for his resignation, and to bring under congressional review the…

    George Rebane Jo Ann and I wish all of our readers a day of joyful reflection on all the received blessings of family, friends, and this wondrous land – Happy Thanksgiving.  

  • Ruminations – 20nov2008

    George Rebane Millions once moved to California for its boundless promise, but time has not been kind to the Golden State, so starts Joel Kotkin’s ‘Sundown for California’ in the Nov/Dec issue of The American.  He details the history of our beloved state and jewel of the world from its unbelievable beginnings as a land…

  • Moving a Blog is Hard

    George Rebane Dear Reader, the articles below posted today 23 November 2007 all address community growth as it affects our small (pop approx 100,000) Sierra foothills county.  However, the issues we grapple with here in Nevada County are at least national in scope.  I’ve done my best to gather these together from their originally published…
