Triumph of the Swill
I got this from Making Light. It resonates so well.
Hybrid Solar House
Dave Pogue, at the NY Times, wrote about an interesting technology. A solar house that heats and cools itself by having an atmosphere.
It seems that it would work well in our region, with 300+ days of sunshine. They are basically kit houses, some assembly required. Unfortunately, they ship the house parts from NC and I am in CO. I think the freight charges will be significant.
I like the look of the Aquarius design with the optional garage (gotta have a garage in CO). My one concern is how sound travels from the basement through the double interior walls.
Maybe if we ever sell our current place and move…
Arrrgh! They Got Me…
I like to buy books from QPB on occasion. They have an interesting assortment of some good quality (physically) books. I have been getting books from them for decades. Initially, it was all mail-order, but now they have a web site. And so I went to buy a couple of books online last month.
I think I was successful: the order was entered, I received acknowledgment, I even got a notice that they were shipped. Still waiting for them, but shipping books takes time. But that’s not where they got me.

There’s a lot of information available out there. Be Careful.
So true
- The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.

Let’s see how this comes out
It’s just (a) fine
I heard about the $100M ITT fine for passing along assembly specs for night goggles to foreign countries.
Is there any reason ITT should ever get another government contract for anything?
The way I heard it described:
1) ITT was attempting to subcontract the production of the night goggles. And, of course, you subcontract to off-shore facilities to do the actual work and to keep your profits up. And, of course, the off-shore facilities are located in countries that are not the best of friends with US.
2) ITT considers our export controls laws to be a minor nuisance in conducting international business and that it is probably cheaper to ignore the laws and see if they get caught rather abide by them.
If ITT is an American corporation then they are guilty of treason and they shouldn’t be getting US government contracts; if they aren’t an American corporation they shouldn’t be getting US contracts in the first place.
It’s time to write the congressman again. Although I’m sure that because of ITT’s support of the US in 1973,he will give them a free ride this time.
