silveradeptToday was a fun day - reunions means lots of food, strange and old pictures, and croquet. And then there was a little gaming when I got back - the difficulty is ramped all the way up in this mode, and that makes it tough.
A sexy electric car. From a place called Tesla Motors. Isn't that neat?
People giving terrorism much more credit than it's due by thinking that terrorists can destroy the infrastructure of the country by waving their hands. It might happen, but it would take serious co-ordination and control to make it work.
A Boy Scout Council in Philadelphia faces eviction because the city's not convinced that the boys aren't discriminating against homosexuals. If the BSA council wants to use the space rent-free, they have to bring their policies in line with the city's. Otherwise, they're going to be charged rent for the place. So it's not a zOMGwhoa thing. This does illustrate, though, how headlines can be used to mislead people. This is why you should always read the article. I'm using the grab technique and hoping you'll stick around for the rest.
Israel asks for rush delivery on bought U.S. bombs, U.S. is happy to oblige. The sale was done a year ago, but since Israel could use a few more bombs right about now, they're calling in a few favors.
A reminder to those people who have a lot of spare cash on their hands, that spacetourism is possible for a few millions. The next tourist, as I recall, will be cosplaying as Char Aznoble when he goes up in the rocket.
Anyway, more tomorrow, I'm sure.
