Here's just a quick news update, as I found more than a couple particularly interesting things in the news today.

First, Vancouver has been rated the best place to live, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. The top ten cities include three from Canada, four from Australia, two from Switzerland, and one from Austria. The bottom ten cities include places like Tehran, Karachi, and Dhaka: probably nice places to visit if you know what you're doing but definitely not high on my list of spectacular locales.

Also, in a succession to the X-Prize, which SpaceShipOne and its team won about a year ago, Peter Diamandis, who bootstrapped the X-Prize, has started a new venture called the Rocket Racing League. This looks really cool and certainly has the potential to press aviation in the same way the X-Prize did.

In other news, don't you think a Supreme Court justice should have at least some experience as a judge?

Right-o. That's all for now.
