A new era of alternative energy is dawning, so to help you learn how to save money on your energy needs and help save the planet too, Altech Solar is holding a free seminar at the Eagle County Building in El Jebel.
As featured on CON GAMES, the guys from Altech will explain how their innovative Evacuated Solar Tube technology can save up to 80% on your gas or electric bills and pay for itself in just six to eight years.

recently shared some personal information about the medical challenges he faces. Post staff is pleased to read he is facing these challenges with the courage and humility necessary to come out on top. "Okay, I am a creature of habit and routine does work for me and it is a good thing because that is what it takes to line up with the schedule here. Rigorous, almost grueling, but doable. I look at this with passion as my full-time job with a potential huge payoff of a full life again." We at Post Time Media speak for all of us when we say, "Godspeed, Dr. Bill."
"I knew that after being unplugged for close to 4 months," writes Post blogger Jim Vail, "there would be snafus getting back, but I was still surprised by the outcome."

Disguised as a mild-mannered physicist, Prof Jim Kakalios (U Minn) will explore the physics secrets behind Superheroes. Just how DOES Superman leap a tall building in a single bound? Can the Flash really do quantum tunneling? The Physics of Superheroes explores everything from energy, to thermodynamics, to quantum mechanics, to solid-state physics, and relates the physics in comic books to such real-world applications as automobile airbags, microwave ovens, and transistors.
Fun, provocative, and packed with more superheroes than an Avengers-Justice League crossover!

ASPEN, Colo. — The Aspen Music Festival and School brings opera to the entire Aspen community on Sunday, July 29, at 7 p.m. with a free jumbo-screen simulcast of one of the most popular operas of all time, Bizet’s Carmen. The community is invited to relax on the lawn as this spirited heroine comes to life — and death — on the screen with a story full of seductions, duels, a dramatic bullfight, and of course, some of opera’s most beloved music. The event will be held rain or shine and is expected to run approximately 3 hours.

At the Aspen Ideas Festival--and anywhere you go--it is painfully clear the balance of power has shifted from the old media to the "new" like YouTube, Facebook, and on a local level, blogs like Aspen Post. Even the title "citizen journalists" bespeaks a certain arrogance and outright misunderstanding of the way things have changed, and embraces the woeful idea that plain old people, once given a soapbox to call their own, will want anything to do with dinosaurs.

Certain claims have been made regarding Islam that reflect the staggering ignorance of non-Muslims, particularly in America, and point to a growing trend toward Islamophobia. Witness this statement made on a recent radio broadcast during a discussion of stem cell research: If the jihadis succeed in establishing Sharia Law there would be no more science, no experiments. Apparantly the speaker was unaware that Muslims, under Sharia Law, invented science. But back to that later…

So okay there was this bee, see. He-she-it was a yellowjacket buzzing around the room when the Aspen Science Center's "Science and Media Summit" was meeting on the campus of the Aspen Institute.
I'm not supposed to talk about what is going down behind closed doors during the summit, but no one is going to stop me from talking about the bee. What happened to the bee is on the record until I'm told differently.

I an ABSOLUTELY sworn to secrecy so no one must know my whereabouts for the next two days, not even me. I will be whisked to a location undisclosed to me, there to hear the top dogs and cool cats of the science and science writing world talk about how to make sure truth and justice fight their way through the dark clouds of journalism when scribes purport to deliver the news scientific.
I am also ABSOLUTELY not allowed to yak a single word about anything I might hear because this is the closed-door "Science and the Media Summit" put together by Aspen Science Center executive director Kevin Ward to show the way toward what you might call accuracy in media.

After reading an article about the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist’s “Doomsday Clock,” a symbolic clock created in 1947 to measure the threat of nuclear war, I was compelled to build a similar mechanism to accurately track Aspen’s demise. It will follow the same scale of measurement used by the original Doomsday clock. When the clock strikes midnight, well, as Prince once said, “Party over, it’s out of time.” I call my creation “Aspen’s Doomsday Clock.”
