Lucy, the Trump of Hope
George Rebane Tonight Jo Ann and I became great-grandparents when granddaughter Claire gave birth to Lucy, a healthy and ready for the world bundle of joy. Lucy weighed in at 8lbs 15oz and stretched out to 20 inches long. Mama and baby both did real well and are glad that the hard part of th...
"like the baubles for which the Indians traded Manhattan"
Now that got a literal "laugh out loud" from me!
This is an exciting project, and I can't wait to see it launched...

Post-Singularity Science Has Arrived – sort of
George Rebane Machines are being developed that can analyze realworld observables (think of it as data from experiments with real things) and come up with not only the mathematics that describes the data, but also the mathematics that describes the underlying principles at work. By ‘underlyin...
I'm going to use my air quotes a different way.
That "entrepreneur" is definitely missing out on what real investors can bring to the table.

"Currently we don't have time for due diligence"
I had an email exchange with a guy earlier today that seems worthy of a quick blog post. After receiving a 30 second description of this entrepreneur's business (literally 30 seconds), I reached out to him to let him know that I thought what he was doing was interesting and asked if he would like...
As you know, I live a stone's throw on the Placer County side of the line. However, I intend to visit Nevada County several times in the coming weeks, and if it would help, I'd be glad to give credit to this inspiring new logo.
PS: I've seen WAY worse.

The New Nevada County Brand – Really! (updated)
George Rebane Today the Board of Supervisors accepted the proposal by Switchback Public Relations + Marketing Inc to develop a county tourist promo website and spread the word that henceforth the following image will indelibly remind the prospective visitor of Nevada County and its manifest plea...
George - my second Andy Kessler book to recommend in a row, but if you haven't read his entire book on the subject, it's amazing (I'm 70% through with it). http://akle.in/akdc-eatpeople
RL - I'm most definitely right of center (although probably not as right of center as some think, depending on the issue). Having read your comments over the course of a long time (and known you since about 2005), I think it's abundantly clear that you are an independent centrist. We have to have coffee some time again - I think it would be fun.

Additive Manufacturing and its Aftermath
George Rebane Another quiet revolution is taking place that will impact all of our lives in ways known and unknown. Its big name is additive manufacturing (AM), but we used to know it as 3D printing. Stereolithography, the technology behind AM and 3D printers, was first invented by Charles Hul...
George, you should read "Grumby" by Andy Kessler - it's a novel, and I doubt you'd agree with the story's conclusion, but it's still a rollicking good read. :)

Epochal My Dear Watson
... and they knew not what they had witnessed. George Rebane Really! The ease with which IBM’s Watson supercomputer dispatched its champion human opponents on Jeopardy last night, will go down as perhaps the first pre-Singularity temblor on this third planet from the Sun. During the three se...
Russ, I figured you would love the world of Kindle. I've been a fan for about two years now and just got my wife one.
I've come to the point that I only buy very specific books in hardcover, like presidential biographies, which I love to collect.
I love having my library everywhere I go, and with Kindle's commitment to cross-platform, I think we've both made the right bet on the e-reading future.
One thing you should watch for: make sure you visit the Kindle Bestseller List on Amazon.com every week or two, and check out the top 100 free books available. You have to dig through some trashy romance novels, but you'll also find a bunch of copyright-free classics like The Iliad and The Odyssey, as less as a few gems that traditionally go for $8-$15 (as a loss-leader to introduce you to an author).

Changing the way we read
Russ Steele Ellen has had a Kindle eReader for several years. I have resisted getting one of my own, but after seeing how much Ellen enjoyed her Kindle I down load the Kindle App on my Mac Laptop, iPod and Droid Phone. I was pushed into the whole process when I was looking for a book to ...
Steve, you're correct - Keoni and Tim have done an amazing job getting local subcontractors involved and up-to-speed on Field Act and DSA regulations.
I am incredibly thrilled that we were able to get Keoni and Tim on the project as well. While our staff took steps to ensure that local companies could compete, they won the project fair and square in a competitive manner, and that's something we can all be proud of.

Local Contractors at Sierra College Nevada County Campus
Russ Steele Many local residence will remember the promises that were made during the Measure G campaign to use local contractors on the expansion of our local college campus. We were all highly disappointed when no local contractors were use in Phase I of the NCC Expansion and Renovations Proje...
Given the hundreds of thousands of dollars (or perhaps millions, for all I know) that the Chapman family has and continues to invest in the cause of adoption...frankly, I think it would be more than fair to say that these dollars and much, much more are going to SH.
As a recipient of a Shaohannah's Hope grant to bring my son home from South Korea, I have to say to any negative commenters: SHAME ON YOU. This family contains the most generous people you will ever meet. Go find someone else to tear down and criticize, for crying out loud.

OK, I normally don't post, but here it is. These comments make me sad. I am beginning to think that the Internet is not a good thing. At any rate, here is the deal with the EBAY..... We have begun the grueling task of cleaning out, purging, getting rid of....which is WAY over due. My hubby ...
