Phil Bowermaster officially launches his new blog The Speculist today after a month of...speculating about it.

It's futurist oriented, with stuff on space, life extension and technology in general. Go check it out.

And while you're at it, head over to Marsblog, where T. L. James has a lot of interesting space-related posts from last Thursday, including several posts about loony anti-nuke-in-spacers (featuring perennial paranoid luddite Bruce Gagnon), and thoughts on Russian/Chinese hypocrisy on space-weapons treaties. Just keep scrolling.
