Explore the Technology Underground!
Welcome to Notes from the Technology Underground. The Tech Underground is a world of edgy, highly kinetic, physical science. If there's news on stuff goes whoosh, boom, or splat, then, this is the place to read about it.
During the summer, it's hard for me to update the blog regularly, but check back from time to time to see what's new. I plan to start posting more regularly in a few months.
Here are links to some of my favorite posts:

Do any techie people out there have a sense of whether this orbital booster idea would work?
Thanks.
verymuch useful info
I think it is a cool blog. I am not a techno fanatic. But those topics or issues are quite a catch. I know that those are very educational. Maybe I could even recommend those topics to my students to research about!
Yeah, the topics are pretty interesting and yes some good info.
