The Why of the 737 Max
In short, this is on both Boeing and the FAA, and both should get taken out to the woodshed over it, both criminally and civilly

Tech Tuesday 3/19/19 – Sorry It’s Late Edition
Back then, the computers just did not have the memory or CPU cycles to do Computational Fluid Dynamics justice. Today, however…
Tech Tuesday 3/5/19 – ‘I Have a Cold, And It Sucks’ Edition
Yes, I have a cold, it sucks, so be glad I knocked out this much. Excuse me while I use my neti pot and worship my new god, Sudafed.
Tech Tuesday
This is why I love science. As much as I love the new tech, and interesting designs, and fun bits of analysis, in the end, it’s the potential of that bleeding edge to upend everything we think we know.
Tech Tuesday 12/12/19 – Make It Rain Edition
Oscar Gordon’s Tech Tuesday, this week: Last ride of the Tornado, welding, voice to the voiceless, self-healing polymers, rainmaking, China, and more.
Tech Tuesday 1/29/19 – Cool Sounds Edition
Overall, I support using drones and robots for aircraft inspections, as long as the software that is evaluating the sensor feed is more capable than a person at spotting an issue. I’ve done these kinds of inspections, on hovercraft and airliners, and it can be mind numbing.
Tech Tuesday 11/15/18 “Lucy, The Sky Is Diamonds” Edition

Tech Tuesday – Earthrise Edition
Oscar Gordon’s Tech Tuesday from Ordinary Times. Happy New Year Everyone!
Tech Tuesday – 12/18/18
On a personal note, we spent the weekend in Flagstaff, and Bug got to see Mars through a 16″ telescope, and he got to see the Orion Nebula through the Clark Telescope, which showed him 8 baby stars and the glowing green gas of the nebula. Totally worth staying up late and standing in line in the cold.
Tech Tuesday 8/28/14 – Oscar Is Tired of Arizona Heat Edition
I am so ready for that mythical pleasant Arizona winter.
Tech Tuesday 8/14/18
I’ve got a recycling post I’m working on, but finding time to do it justice is an issue. Until then, here are some recent links.
Tech Tuesday 07/31/18 – Back In The Saddle Edition
Move is done, we are settled, so I am back at it!
Tech Tuesday, Bacteria Still Rule Edition (12/5/17)
So I recently discovered Steven Universe. I fully recommend it (it’s on Cartoon Network and Hulu). Some people on Tumblr, etc. get a little too into it, but it is quite smart. Don’t let the animation style make you think it isn’t.
Tech Tuesday 11/21
Have a Happy Thanksgiving for those in the US (or not in the US, but who celebrate it anyway). We are reprising our plan from last year, which is to meet up with some friends at the local Brazilian Steakhouse. My Portuguese is a little rusty, but I’m pretty sure the name of the place translates to “Meat Coma”.
Tech Tuesday 10/24/17 – I Actually Like Brussel Sprouts and Broccoli Edition
Back from Disneyland. If you find yourself at California Adventure, the ride ‘Soaring’ is a treat. And ‘California Screaming’ is a respectable roller coaster.
Tech Tuesday 9/26 – Entropy Is Such A Lonely Word Edition
Pickings were kinda thin these past two weeks, lots of stories that were ho-hum variations on topics discussed before. But there was still some stuff that caught my eye.
