- SP-100 art March 10, 2014The SP-100 was a 1980′s NASA/DoE/DARPA program to develop a space-based nuclear reactor capable of putting out 100 kilowatts of electrical power. A great deal of progress was made, and plans were in place to use on for space stations, interplanetary probes, military satellites and the like, but of course it was cancelled. […]
- Isn’t this the very definition of “bossy?” March 10, 2014Oh, goody, another drive to censor everyday speech. In this case, it’s the “Ban Bossy” movement. The idea seems to be that the word “bossy” somehow stifles little girls, and thus should be banned from use. When a little boy asserts himself, he’s called a “leader.” Yet when a little girl does the same, she […]
- Marriage Equality March 10, 2014And they said it couldn’t be done… Woman ‘marries’ dog: ‘I couldn’t think of anything more I’d need from a life partner The dog is female, so the story has the gay marriage angle built right into it. […]
- Oh, boo-hoo. It’s in the public domain by now. March 10, 2014So, the Armalite firearms company ran this ad: And in a magnificent example of the Streisand Effect, the Italian government goes goofy: Italians angry over ad featuring Michelangleo’s David toting a rifle Various Italian government officials want Armalite to withdraw the ad, claiming it’s *illegal* because the Italian government holds the copyright on images […]

You can also download the very much larger version by LOOKING HERE (over at my long-disused photo blog), good for printing and such. Permission granted for personal use. If you like the photo and want to toss a few coins my […]
- “Cosmos” review March 9, 2014As I mentioned just a little while ago, the Fusion Energy Foundation publications have been posted online. I’ve been looking through the issues of their magazine at random, and stumbled across a review of the book version of Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos.” It was of particular interest since the new version of Cosmos premieres tonight. The […]
- Fusion: Your New Time Waster March 9, 2014In the late 70′s-early 80′s the Fusion Energy Foundation published the magazine “Fusion.” It, as the name suggests, had a number of articles on the politics and physics of nuclear fusion for power generation purposes, and a few on space propulsion. It also had a number of articles on directed energy weapons for strategic defense […]
- Asteroid P/2013 R3 March 9, 2014As ISON irritatingly demonstrated, comets are known to fall apart. This is because they are made up of materials that are easily volatilized, and when they pass too close to the sun they are not only disturbed by gravitational tides, they are cooked enough that large fractions of them simply cook. But asteroids, being just […]
- Easy sleeper March 9, 2014Speedbump is one of those cats who is comfortable in whatever position he’s in. […]
- Apparently, Britain *isn’t* Syria March 9, 2014First, watch this: [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] The idea, I gather, is to show what a year in the life would be for a cute little British moppet if Syrian-style civil war came to London. The idea being to make […]
