Lynne Kiesling And this time I mean it! Full Movable Type 4.1 upgrade, a wide range of social bookmarking options on the permalinks and archives of individual entries, a new look-and-feel, and hopefully the elimination of some wonky behaviors that the site had developed after five years of a half-assed recreational programmer (that would be …
Lynne Kiesling I’m on an all-day videoconference here, so don’t have time to read and think and discuss the newly-released CBO report on carbon emission policies. But Daniel Hall at Common Tragedies has a thorough post with extensive links for you to follow. More later. UPDATE: See also this from the Economist’s Free Exchange and …
Lynne Kiesling This certainly qualifies for a “how cool is that?”: new research on amine sponges to separate and absorb carbon dioxide from flue gas. The idea is that they make a sponge material customized specifically to absorb carbon dioxide by combining amines with different metals to create pores of the right size. The researchers …
Lynne Kiesling Hmmmmm … well, for some reason comments aren’t working, so I’ll be disabling them temporarily while I finish the Movable Type 4.0 migration. My apologies!

Lynne Kiesling I am feeling grumpy and under the weather, so the closest I’m coming to an original thought is finding that Tyler Cowen has articulated the basis of my cynicism about politics: We pass too many policies just to show politicians are “doing something,” just because it is an election year, just because voters …
Lynne Kiesling Geez, do I feel like a blog binge-purge bulimic … I get on a roll and then I’m in radio silence. In large part that’s because I’m still digging out from my work backlog while I focused on my book manuscript and the the Texas edited volume and conference. The next couple of …
