Remembering my friend and former student CPT Dave Fraser, KIA in Iraq on November 26, 2006. You lived an exemplary life, Dave, but it was far too short. May it be said, "Well done, be thou at peace."

I’m excited to announce that my new Great Courses lecture series—“Understanding the Marvels of Medieval Technology”—has just been released. In this course, you’ll learn about castles, cathedrals, catapults, carracks, clocks, cannons, and more—all from an engineering perspective. Link below.

My front door. As Trump sides with the Axis of Evil, it’s important for all of us to show our true colors.

Superb update, with many reasons for optimism. #NAFO #SlavaUkraini
Trump has been President for a full week and military aid to Ukraine still continues and all sanctions placed on Russia remain in place. Putin is desperate to meet with Trump in person with the hopes he can offer something Trump wants in exchange for ending weapons deliveries and sanctions.

I recently visited Musée d'Orsay in Paris and was blown away by Claude Monet's Rouen Cathedral series. These five paintings, side by side, depict the cathedral facade under widely different atmospheric conditions. Of course, the subject of these paintings isn't really the cathedral; it is light.
