Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
I don’t generally post items that might be construed as product endorsements, but I was so impressed with my Garmin eTrex Legend this last week that I feel compelled to pass this on. First off let me start by saying that I purchased the Legend around Christmas time, using a coupon from work to upgrade [...]
TheDenverChannel.com – News – Lightning Strikes Teenager Listening To iPod Yikes! What song was he listening to? Two weeks ago we had a motorcyclist hit by lightening on the highway, now a guy mowing the lawn listening to his iPod… It’s enough to make me give up all my electronic devices.
I posted this entry earlier today: Evolution Ruminations There are two links there, one a more “scientific” analysis of evolution and one a more “religious” analysis. I watched as much as I could stand of both of them. Which wasn’t much, frankly. I have as my tagline on my blog “Rational Conservatism from the Rocky [...]
It can be risky to be a political blogger. In the past six months I have seen at least a half-dozen bloggers lose their jobs over their public statements. Usually the reason is that they posted something unpardonable in a moment of anger or passion (or perhaps intoxication, but that’s another subject…) The latest example [...]
Joe Lieberman has been the target of some of the most vicious and hateful rhetoric I’ve seen aimed at any politician in years. His enemies are mobilizing both their feet-on-the-street and their financial deep pocket contributers to go after Lieberman with everything they have. If you are not keeping track of the political landscape, you [...]
Explay Nano Projector Pocket Display: Science Fiction in the News A full-color hi-res computer display projector that is smaller than a matchbox? That is always in focus? That can project a bright image 35 inches wide? Yep, that’s what they are working on. Now that’s cool.
I love rainy mountain days in the summer. They just seem to demand that you slow down and take a nap or something. The rain comes in waves, a hard downpour followed by long periods of steady drizzle. In the afternoon the moisture tends to rise back up from the ground in misty apparitions that [...]
With apologies to Mark Twain, of course. California Al Qada “leader” I think if this is the caliber of “leadership” that Al Qada is fielding these days, things are looking very bright indeed for the U.S. effort. His resume apparently reads “former rock music fan”. I guess that’s a real “former rock music fan” unless [...]
Physicist Stephen Hawking is perhaps the world’s best-known physicist. He has been compared to Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton. His insights into black holes have led to entire new branches of astrophysics. Apparently Dr. Hawking posted a question on Yahoo. Here is the question: How can the human race survive the next 100 years? I’m [...]
The U.S. 2000 Presidential election was supposed to be a fluke. It was also supposed to reflect an American cultural phenomenon of polarization. In fact I heard several people say that the ideological divide exhibited in the 2000 election was a natural outgrowth of the American 2-party system. Since then we’ve had a near repeat [...]
