Testimony to the President's Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy

I was invited to testify before this group (usually known as the "Moon to Mars Commission" or the "Aldridge Commission") in March 2004. The slides that accompanied my testimony are available here. It's a two-megabyte download, but I hope you enjoy it.

LASIK Diary

I did LASIK in 1998, back when it was still an experimental procedure.  Mixed results.  I posted a diary and got over a million hits (not bad for the early days of the Internet).  This is ancient hand-coded HTML and some of the references are obsolete, but it's still worth reading.
