I still cannot understand why we even have to debate nuclear power in this country. It’s far cleaner and more efficient than coal or oil. With current technology, we could power fission reactors until the sun burns out. It isn’t perfect - but to be honest, there will always be trade-offs for industrialized society. It […]

Revisiting my multi-year New Year’s resolutions, as I do from time to time:

Last night had the opportunity to check out The Decemberists at the Hollywood Bowl. They were backed by the LA Philharmonic, which was pretty cool to hear. I’m a sucker for strings in rock songs. If you haven’t heard The Decemberists, I recommend checking them out. To me, they sounded half like a cross between […]
