I use Vimeo to host my videos. YouTube is nice but the ads are annoying and I much prefer a clean look. Anyway, Vimeo has introduced a new way of organizing your videos. It looks strangely similar to what they used to have when I first signed up.

Everything old is new again.

Robert Zimmerman has published his paper “Capitalism in Space” and it is well worth the read. The man knows about space and space policy. Hopefully someone in the Trump administration is listening.

Years ago, I ran a rocket company with a couple of dear friends. We build some really cool toys.

Well, now at least I have a name for it. The scourge is called depersonalization.

I am the Middle
I am not Right Wing, Left Wing, Republican or Democrat
I believe in good jobs, health care, decent schools
I believe in fiscal responsibility, helping one’s neighbor, doing the right thing
I believe in religious tolerance no matter one’s faith
I believe in dignity regardless of creed, color, or heritage
I expect our leaders to be trustworthy, pragmatic and forthright
I expect that all parties, left or right work together despite their differences
I am the Middle
I am tired of the fighting.…but I still have hope.

There are no such things as alternate facts. Anyone peddling that nonsense can drop it right now. Doesn’t matter if the data is a crowd size of a temperature reading. A fact is a fact. Data are groups of facts. If you manipulate the facts they are lies.

So I took 20 minutes and watched one of the most talked about speeches so far this year. The rhetoric was good, the details murky and it was wrapped in flags and patriots. I found it neither derogatory or uplifting. If Trump actually does something with Space, I will be surprised. We really could use a boost though.

Managed to morph my flu into a sinus infection. As a bonus the meds don’t seem to be letting me sleep. Been keeping it low key but shut eye would be great.

Nothing like a wonderful day of being sick and watching sites go down due to a poor WordPress update. Fortunately I have backups.
