On Saturday, we visited the Potomac Point Winery in the backwoods of Stafford’s Widewater peninsula, completing our tour of the most local wineries. I have to say, I was underwhelmed. Oh, the wines were fine, if a bit overpriced, and as of yet, made …

What would happen if the marginal cost of education were zero? It’s already happening with music and video online. That is just one of a few fascinating issues that were discussed at the Hacking Education event hosted by Union Square Ventures.
To a great extent, homeschoolers are already there. If you are determined to not spend, […]

I had thought last night that we’d be heading for southwest OK today, but this morning’s models views and forecast discussions have led me back to the north central OK target of Ponca City. There is a cold front pressing southward with its attendant u…



Your favorite “insignificant” “leftist” “hate-blog” “that is used almost exclusively to support the Democrat Party” with its “rather dull and inane vitriol” hits the big time, joins The Jeffersoniad.

We started out this morning in Lubbock TX and wound up back here tonight. It’s late so this is just a quick update on today’s chase. We did chase the dryline setup – something I’ve dreamed of doing – and had a good time doing it. The above photo sho…
