Things have been a little quiet around here. Let me see if I can explain why: I don’t want to imply that when you have a small human to take care of, you can’t get anything else done, but I (at least) tend to let non-essential systems atrophy. Navel-gazing (which, I will be honest, is [...]

Letters to my Kids: What I Think About Space, Science, and Traveling Faster than the Speed of Light
The world is a crazy place. Unexpected things happen all the time, and while I may plan to be around to have the Important Conversations with my kids, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Or today. I could choke to death on the ham sandwich I make for lunch. These things happen. There [...]
What’s up, Februa– err… March edition

From that, I’ve projected things like the demise of chain bookstores; their failure slowed but not stopped by stubborn publishers clinging to DRM in a vain effort to make digital books [...]
Carnac the Magnificent strikes again
I believe I have already established that I am psychic, but in case anyone missed it, let’s check out a different subheading of ‘nailed it’ from my original post: As electronic distribution (and web-based shopping) becomes more and more prevalent, and the percentage of electronic vs. analog versions of the same products continues to move [...]

I’m an instinctive stoic. Let me tell you what I’m thankful for. I’m thankful there’s a fifteen foot trench in the floor of my basement, because it means we’re truly committed to making Kaylee’s new bedroom a reality. I’m thankful there are no proper supports for the wall that trench is next too, even though there [...]
