Hey guys, I know this is pretty lame, but it’s going to be a bit longer before I have anything useful to put up. I do have a pretty cool technology idea I’ve gotten permission to write about, but we’re doing an SBIR proposal on it first. There’s a lot more afoot in [...]
Posted in Administrivia, Excuses for Light Blogging on Jul 6th, 2010
I really apologize for the light blogging lately. I’ve been under a lot of stress, and unfortunately I’m expecting the light blogging to continue for at least the rest of the month, and probably longer. I’m heading up to Oregon today for a family reunion on Tiff’s side of the family. Her [...]

We’re about to head up to Utah for a family vacation, and I found this while downloading pictures off the camera:

Going to be heading out of town for the annual Space Access conference. With Dave out of town this week, that means I’ll either be sleeping down in Mojave tomorrow night, or riding with someone straight to Phoenix.
I’ll be on two panels, one on Thursday evening covering “High Payoff Technologies in LEO and Beyond”. [...]

Just wanted to mention that John Hare was in town for a visit today. Had fun trying out some proof-of-concept hardware for some of his ideas he’s blogged about over the past year or so. We also had lunch with Doug Jones over at Mike’s Roadhouse cafe. John won’t be able to [...]

Just wanted to introduce a new blogger here on Selenian Boondocks: Kirk Sorensen. The name should be familiar. Kirk is a longtime commenter here, and has been the inspiration for many of my posts (he was the one who came up with the Boom Rendezvous material I blogged about last month, and was [...]

I was going to be taking a well-earned vacation this week, now that the LLC stuff has wound down. But apparently I succeeded in destroying my immune system over the past several months, and am not paying for it with a nice case of acute bronchitis. I don’t know if this means more or less [...]

Ok, between the trip to DC for the awards ceremony on Thursday, and taking all of next week off for a long-needed vacation, I’m not quite out of the woods yet. But after that I want to get back into blogging. And I have a few topics I’d like to write about, but [...]

I noticed about a week ago (or maybe it was a year ago–I’m not really sure) that we had nearly hit 300k visitors here at Selenian Boondocks. We finally crossed that threshold yesterday. I’d like to thank all the loyal readers who keep following us even though I’ve been way to busy to [...]
