RAND SIMBERG responds to astronaut Tom Jones. “While my admiration and gratitude to Tom Jones for his service to our nation, both on the planet and off, is unbounded, I believe he is wrong in his description of the new space policy as a ‘path to nowhere.’ In so characterizing it, he falls prey [...]

Had an amazing Kiss & Make Up last night. Someone brought along a saxophone and squonked along to some of the records. If that person was YOU, cheers! We salute you. Here's some of what you might have heard (you'll just have to imagine the sax improv in your head).

I just discovered Zip design, a graphic design/motion design agency from UK, that made really nice things over the past few years in the music industry. With clients like the Rolling Stones, Chemical brothers, Depeche mode, Tom Jones, Groove Armada, Fat Boy Slim, they made an amazing portfolio. I really like what they did in visual [...]
