Blogfriends Rising

Friends of Zenpundit are an enterprising crew: Shane Deichman has launched a new business entity, EMC2 and has joined a thinker who has been featured here, Dr. Yaneer Bar-Yam , at The New England Complex Systems Institute . Having talked a little science with Shane, where he swiftly blasts out of my humble layman’s orbit, I think this will be a fantastic fit for his expertise in particle physics. AND , if this is not enough… there’s a new Deichman on the way ! Dr. Daniel Nexon has finished his book , one that should be read by anyone interested in 4GW and the emergence of the Westphalian society of states,   Religious Conflict, International Change, and the Struggle for Power in Early Modern Europe ,. Dan of tdaxp has wed his true love and found time, somewhere, to redesign his blog with a sharp new look, abandoning the crappy, subpar, Blogspirit platform in the process. Jesus! I feel lazy in comparison…..
