Right Wing Outfits Don’t Attract Tech Talent Because They Still Don’t Take Tech Seriously

by Eileen | 1:31 am, February 8, 2013

The right-wing problem with attracting top talent in technology isn’t because all the tech people are lefties; it’s because we don’t offer them anything.

Fossil fuel use protects us from climate-related risks

by Brian T. Schwartz | 9:53 pm, December 20, 2012

This originally appeared in the Boulder Daily Camera on December 15, 2012. Many people will uncritically blame fossil fuel use for recent warm weather. But they are blind to how fossil fuels have reduced climate-related deaths since the 1920s. Since then, climate-related death rates have decreased by 98 percent, explains a Reason Foundation study by [...]

GOP Technology Haplessness

by T.L. James | 11:58 am, November 17, 2012

…is one of the reasons for the big failure this year. And there’s no reason for it — the party knew what needed to be done, at minimum, based on the Obama team’s actions in the 2008 campaign, and they couldn’t even get that right. I’ve encountered several groups developing digital strike lists and precinct [...]

Encyclopædia Britannica Adjusts to Reality, Stops Printing

The free market could care less how old a company may be, how storied its history, how famous its brand. All it cares about is “what can you do for me TODAY?” If Mr. Cauz isn’t careful, his company could slip into the mists of history.

Feisty, Brash Andrew Breitbart, Conservative Lightning Rod, Dead at 43

by Bob Adelmann | 3:27 pm, March 1, 2012

This gentleman had the right idea: go right at the enemy! Don’t try to persuade, befriend or beguile. Attack, always attack, forever attack! He will be missed.

China Hits Turning Point; Jobs Coming Back to the U.S.

by Bob Adelmann | 5:56 am, March 1, 2012

Herbert Stein’s wonderful quote: “When something can’t go on forever, it will stop” certainly applies here. China is running out of cheap labor. The workers want more than just bare subsistence wages. Dang that human desire to want to improve its circumstances!

U.S. Manufacturing Is Making Headway

by Bob Adelmann | 11:02 am, February 17, 2012

Just when we thought that both California and US manufacturing were dead and buried comes the news that neither perception is correct. What’s amazing is how US manufacturing is thriving given the anti-capitalist ideologue sitting in the White House doing everything he can to keep this from happening.

Courts and Dept of Justice Agree: Videotaping Police is OK

by Bob Adelmann | 12:36 pm, February 13, 2012

The pen is mightier than the sword. And so, it appears, is the cellphone. The right to video tape government officials’ bad behavior has always been a citizen’s right. Now the courts and, amazingly, the Department of Justice as well, are recognizing and confirming the right. It’s showtime!

Rising Oil Production in Alberta: More Evidence Disproving Hubbert’s Peak

by Bob Adelmann | 1:10 pm, February 9, 2012

In today’s environment it’s hard to find good news. But this is good news: the free market is working, and putting statists’ predictions, like Hubbert’s, to shame. Oh, the joy!

Drones: Newest Tool of the Surveillance State

by Bob Adelmann | 12:18 pm, January 31, 2012

Rather than think about how scary this scenario is, I prefer to think about how to stop it. These incursions into our freedoms require money which requires congressional approval. If we stop the funding, we stop the incursions. It’s that simple.
