+ Purdue scientists have done an extensive simulation of one of the 9/11 impacts. The video is on YouTube: Scientists simulate jet colliding with World Trade Center. Their press release. (And, Jim: you must watch it.)
+ Glowing article on Bloomberg's reign. Then he leaves the Repubs. Run coming up?
+ Finally, the latest from Lawrence Lessig. I'm a distant admirer. He's switching his career focus from intellectual property to combating the unfair influence that money has on our system.
Sounds great. Not sure you can build a culture on the creation of wealth and then de-emphasize it in politics. But maybe he'll find a way.
Of course, I'm oversimplifying. Read his post if you want to know more.

Too bad about Lessig. He moves from an important front (public domain) where he is respected and can have an impact, to a broader area that every do-gooder has worked on since the beginning of time.
:-(
A friend of mine is a die-hard Republican warrior who lives near White Plains and goes way back with the party. He is sort of a moderate/conservative. I was surprised several months ago when we had dinner together and he said that Bloomberg was doing a great job as mayor. I guess I should not have been.
Wow, that is very interesting; and answers some (not all) of the questions from the conspiricy theorists.
I'm not in agreement with the "9/11 was an inside job" crowd. I just think you have to ask the questions.
Very good stuff I think I'll post it to my blog... :-)
Thanks!
glad to be of service, Jim! ;-)
