I’m pretty sure that the world of finance exists to obfuscate and to self-perpetuate. # I really thought my last tweet would exorcise the bad financial institution demons. No such luck. I feel such a snarky blog coming on… # So much for the GPS drama: http://bit.ly/AQ3zz #boating #sailing # RT @rozsavage: hmph. breeze against [...]

Eight gazillion errands today. Probably good; it keeps me from waiting by the phone. # Trying to figure out what kinds of food plants will actually grow on this boat. Bet the nursery folks won’t know either. # So stoked… DocWeb finally is real! YEAH! http://doc.java.sun.com/DocWeb/ # RT @rozsavage: Store Savage Goes Live – Thanks [...]

Go Jessica!

Watson, that is. http://www.youngestround.com/ I’m not sure how I feel about record quests. They drive a whole lot of bad behavior in other sports. I’m figuring that as long as it’s driven by the person themselves, and not by vanity parents, it’s all good. And I’m guessing from the amount of grief Zac Sunderland’s parents [...]

No, I don’t mean psychology. Researchers in France have developed a new model of Earth’s magnetic field that includes a simple explanation for why it has flipped direction many times throughout Earth history.

Sailing through garbage… on purpose

Published by Laureen under Uncategorized

A reporter from Parents magazine, one from SAIL, and another opportunity that I’m keeping quiet about for now, but is TV based. Woah. I’ve also been asked to contribute [...]

Spare a Sextant 2 — Solar Wind

Published by Laureen under Uncategorized

New research on solar wind turns up this yummy goodness: Scientists have long understood that satellites are at risk from bombardment by solar storms.
