| Bio: | In this journal, you'll find my ephemeral thoughts. Perhaps I won't write anything profound, but I'll only post things that I think at least some of my audience will find interesting or amusing. Amongst the updates on my life, you will probably find short articles on science, technology, history, books and music. The things most worth reading are my articles "Cathedrals and Shuttles", "Flamininus at Corinth", "Enemies at the Gate", the series beginning with "The Economics of Space Transportation", the series beginning with "Maps of Physics", and "Living at the Fulcrum", the nearest thing I've written to a personal statement. If you're looking for something specific you can search Sharp Blue or view the archives.
