Ace, over at the eponymous Ace of Spades, has been saying “Go big or go home” throughout this campaign, though mostly directed at the GOP and at Romney.  For the first time in my life (that I can recall), I am working actively for a political campaign. I have made plenty of donations over the […]

Sorry for the quiet for the last week, but I am strill trying to figure out why switching to a new theme (and a rather plain-vanilla WordPress theme at that) suddenly caused most page-specific links into the blog to return 404s. Right now, I’m blogging at 35,000 ft, so I won’t have much in the […]

Megan McArdle talks about the merit pay issue for teachers. […]

Thought it was time to freshen things up a bit. The theme itself is pretty plain vanilla, but the photos that show up in the header are now all photographs that I took, and almost all of them were taken around our house here in Parker, Colorado. I may keep tweaking the configuration, or I […]

From conservative-mole-within-State, Diplomad: In the late-1990s, I was working in State’s Political-Military Bureau in Washington. One of our duties was to work with the Pentagon planning and executing “noncombatant evacuation operations” (NEOs)  in countries where the security situation had gone belly up.

A possible game-changer in industrial robots

A possible game-changer in industrial robots

Via Slashdot come a link to this MIT video (sorry, can’t find a way to embed it) about the work that Rodney Baxter (founder of iRobot) is doing to develop a new kind of industrial robot: cheap (~$22K), safe, and programmable by factory workers. What rings true in Brooks’ commentary is that people will find […]
