An interesting science blog... and other news
This is one that I bookmarked a long time ago, but haven't gotten around to blogging until now. Science Progress. And here is a story on the upcoming gap in manned space exploration from 2010 to 2015 and what we should do about it.
Hat tip to ArgMax (John Irons) who also points to Scott Page's book which I have not had a chance to read yet, but plan to this summer. (Page was a professor of mine at Iowa back in the day.)
In other news...
I have been working on a project with a deadline of this week, hence the lapse in blogging. That will improve soon enough, but still for a while I won't have much time to do much more than offer up some links. One thing that I do need to do is catch up on some old stuff (like this) that I bookmarked with the idea of blogging it later. Time to clear out the ol' RSS reader. The time for spring cleaning is soon over, but one can always do some "summer cleaning".
Already it has been a rather busy summer, and looks to continue that way. I'm teaching an MBA class (managerial econ) and having a blast with it. Trying to revise and create some new course materials when I have a spare moment. Of course there's always the family stuff going on too.
I ran a 5K a couple weeks ago and turned in a rather mediocre 27 minutes and change. I let myself get out of shape when I got out of grad school and am trying to turn it around. I'm doing another race in a couple weeks. Hopefully I'll do better...perhaps I'll even post a picture or two.
Conditions look more conducive for blogging next week. Until then, maybe a few more links out of the files of ancient history.

What is needed is a new "science" or understanding of economics. Here, I refer to my research, and development project of Transfinancial Economics, or TFE.
