Shamus Young has written what he terms &#8220;a single long anecdote&#8221; about his experiences growing up, especially focusing on education. You can find [...]]]></description>

A few years ago, I quit my job and spent six weeks in Seattle making 3D models for a no-budget film that hasn&#8217;t come out yet. The reason it&#8217;s not out yet is that making [...]]]></description>

Everything normal, just like it should be. Ran out a formal report to the engineering on that surprisingly useful &#8220;improved 0-Gee wrench&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[Keep in mind, this passage was written 150 years ago. The ever relevant Frederic Bastiat: It is quite common, however, to attribute to capital a kind of deadly efficiency that would implant selfishness, hardness, and Machiavellian duplicity in the hearts of those who possess it or aspire to possess it. But is this not confused [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, it turns out that 8 watts is a lot of laser. Since it is all focused on a spot only 50 um wide, this comes out to about 4 GW/m^2.  That&#8217;s about four million times brighter than the Sun (at 1 Au). That much energy can do a lot of interesting things, like transform metals [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article is written under the assumption that you want to win arguments. If you don&#8217;t care about being right and having other people verbally acknowledge it you probably won&#8217;t be interested in what follows. Winning an argument is about mind control. It&#8217;s about changing the way your outspoken foil confesses his understanding of reality. [...]]]></description>

I picked it up along with a couple others. Turns out I was disastrously right.

		<description><![CDATA[Review Summary: Good craftsmanship. Bad message. Dumb characters. Anna and I watched &#8220;The Adjustment Bureau&#8221; a few days ago. A number of friends had said it was &#8220;great&#8221; and &#8220;fun&#8221;, so expectations were high. By the end, we were both dissapointed, not only with the film, but with our friends. You know who you are! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Had a good day re-installing everything. There&#8217;s nothing like a clean system working smoothly. Of course, the heat dumps are still deactivated, pending diagnostics. Most tasks have acceptable time frames for completion, but diagnostics are renown for their unreliability. It may take days for the diagnostics to come out just right, if I play it correctly.
