Were you still doing an article on Navy stealth?

  There will be an article covering one particular design from that, but I decided that an article covering the whole “Navy stealth” would just be a mess.

Making Humans a Multiplanet Species September 27, 2016
Elon Musk is scheduled to present his plan on getting humans to Mars and beyond at 2:30 Eastern (12:30 Mountain). The Youtube link below should carry it live, or be available afterwards. SpaceX has also released a “teaser” video showing the system in action: The booster is 12 meters in diameter, the spacecraft is […]
test September 27, 2016
Well, that was fun. After leaving a comment on a post on this blog, I noticed that there was a notification alert on the little dashboard… one of the plugins (W3 Total Cache) needed to be updated. Updating a plugin is typically a matter of hitting one button, waiting tens seconds, then moving on with […]
Star Trek: Cheaper September 26, 2016
When last I mentioned this 50th Anniversary Blu Ray Set of all the original series episodes, movies and Animated series, it was selling for $208.99. Amazon now has it for a much more manageable $129.99. So, you know, huzzah. Buy it from here and I get a pittance!
Updates September 26, 2016
For those interested: still fighting the effects of whatever it was that hit me a week ago. Allergies transitioning into a cold or flu, it seems. So far no bronchitis, though it’s been not too far from that at times. Sunday I slept for about 18 hours… though not all at once but in five […]
Goose/Gander September 25, 2016
Taken at face value, these stories are stupid. But: the apologists for one religion in the world today have proven adept at convincing masses of non-thinkers that any criticism of the religion (it’s history, tenets, beliefs or current practices) is “racism.” Well… if that’s acceptable for *one* religion, it’s acceptable for *all* religions. Don’t like […]
Animation September 24, 2016
Please to enjoy some animation: “Anvil,” a music video for Lorn. Dystopian future where people get uploaded and then… that’s it, I guess. and… “Planet Unknown.” A Chinese film about two rovers on an alien world. Remarkable animation, really. And what the heck. This one isn’t animation, more just a regular old-school music video. But […]
Falcon 9 failure upates September 24, 2016
SpaceXplosion Update: Preliminary Review Suggests “Large Breach in Cryogenic Helium System” Not a whole lot of data is presented in the article, but they do say that important areas of the launch site – the LOX farm, the fuel farm, the Falcon Support building – were largely unaffected by the catastrophe. Purest speculation: a helium […]
Star Trek & Politics September 24, 2016
While about 7 years old (dates from the early days of the Obama Presidency), this extremely nerdy video from Bill Whittle makes some good points about Kirk & Spock and what makes a good leader. Plus, they got Maurice Lamarche to do a Shatner-tastic Kirk impression. Basically, “the smartest guy in the room” is probably […]
Free hugs: TRIGGERED! September 24, 2016
Man Wearing ‘Free Hugs’ Shirt Gets Yelled At After Hugging Officers in Charlotte Watch the heart-warming video of people prioritizing unthinking hate over… well, everything else.
The eternal question September 23, 2016
From HERE. Entertainingly, someone took an already good comic and with just a little bit of a re-write made it just as good, but with a whole different message:
