Is there anything neat out there anymore?

Anything driving people here to the brink of obsession?

i'm actually in the middle of an interesting one The Ruin of J. Robert Oppenheimer.  It's about the systematic dismantling of the man by the US Gov't.  The book is very fascinating, but one reviewer commented on it being a bit of a hagiography, and I can see why.  Oppenheimer can do no wrong and Edward Teller is control freak credit-theiving asshole, according to the book.  But the PBS documentary on this very segment of Oppenheimer's life (focusing more on the trial itself though) shows that Oppenheimer was very, very flawed as a human being.

The moral revolt against the Hydrogen bomb was a fascinating read due to the framing of the device as nothing less than it being a genocidal weapon with no legitimate military function.  As someone who grew up with this device, it's kind of fascinating to learn that there was this strong outrage at its use, which goes beyond ban the bomb nogood peaceniks.

Professional life is eating into the ability to put out a quality product, so we're holding off on the podcast until we have something we feel is worth people's listening time.

if i weren't at work, certainly.  early last year, I picked up the complete playboy 50s DVD which is a cover to cover facsimile of all the issues from that time period.  I was blown away by the jazz coverage and the sci-fi.

It is so awesome, the 90's ads, everything! I'm now looking at a high quality DVD player ad.

Holy fuck, also a ten year old article on HD tv.
