“It is clear that war is not a mere act of policy but a true political instrument, a continuation of political activity by other means.” Karl Von Clauswitz

     First off, I want to mention that this post is the […]

     Sinnreich adds a psychological component. “A lot of us really know next to nothing about what’s really going on militarily in Afghanistan,” he says, “so when a schism like this opens up, we think, ‘There must be more to this.’ ” A “collective detection mentality” takes over, he says, and thousands of people […]

     Ahhhh, time to fire up the old Building Snowmobiles category again, and thanks to James from Death Valley Magazine for giving me the heads up on this story below. Wired’s Danger Room wrote up an interesting article on the latest contract that Booz Allen Hamilton won with the Air Force in regards to cyber-security. This is interesting […]

     It strikes me that the significance of Mitchell, Arnold, Schreiver, and Boyd and their travails was not that they were always right. What strikes me is that they had the vision and insight to see that the world and technology had changed.  They understood the implications of that change, and they pressed ahead in […]

   Outstanding book, and I give it two thumbs up.  I don’t get a chance to read many books these days, and this was a book that I wanted to get my hands on and read ever since it came out. No disappointments either.  So let me do a run down of what inspired me, […]

Be selective in your violence. If an assassination is necessary, use a knife, not a rifle or grenade. It is too easy […]

   This is a basic one, but I think extremely intriguing.  The idea behind this post, is that I am hoping that some programmer or entrepreneur will take this idea and run with it. Meanwhile, my ultimate goal of wanting to see an increase of criminals and terrorists being captured would be the best outcome […]

   It’s been awhile since I posted a good Building Snowmobiles article, and I think I might have stumbled upon something with some meat.  Or at least I hope. So with that said, here it is.  Instead of chastising ‘citizen journalists’, we should instead encourage what good citizen journalism should be, and better yet, encourage […]

    As you guys know, I am always looking into the future of warfare, and the possible uses of today’s technologies.  No rock is left unturned here, and I love coming back to this stuff.  The theme of this post is that in order to apply these new Web 2.0 tools to warfare and business, […]
