The only film footage of Mark Twain, filmed by Thomas Edison in 1909 at Twain's Connecticut home.

This both blows my mind and truly grounds me in how technology transforms us all.

If verified, this is a big deal. Quantum advantage is a serious milestone.

Author proofs in hand! 'Bad War Stories' is close to publication through Helion & Company Ltd and set for a November UK release (using the publisher's website) and a US/international ship date of 15 JAN 2026 (using Amazon or Casemate). 249 pages, plenty of photos and all real

A bit of good news during this government furloughed status: my new book, 'Bad War Stories' just hit the Amazon algorithm and showed up in a few "top 100" lists. The book can be pre-ordered now, and will ship (Amazon and Casemate) by January 15th, 2026. You can score an early

And done! Just finished the final edits to the author's proof of 'Bad War Stories.' This manuscript is now with my publisher Helion & Company Ltd and the photo plates, cover art, and other content is lining up for a November release (in the UK) followed by US and international

Fascinating. Remember that the moon has no atmosphere, and another interesting side effect is the moon "dust" does not receive the same climate transformation as on our planet... such as if you visit the area around Sicily's Mount Etna, the volcanic ash and rock eventually grinds

I took a break from this quantum research to knock out the final edits for 'Bad War Stories.' Now that the author's proof is done and with my publisher (January 15th, 2026 release date on Amazon), I had time today during the GOV shut-down to return to this quantum research for

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to travel back 'down under' to Sydney, Australia and work with the Australian Institute of Police Management (AIPM), on their beautiful campus located right in the Sydney Harbor (in Manly) for a week of strategic design and innovation for

Found some earlier draft work researching the overlaps between commercial design and that of military design methods in complex warfare; posting in a series on Substack as the original document was 45 pages and heavy on the citations... First blog entry linked below. This will be

Be sure to look up in the sky tomorrow night!

Part 2 of a new design blog on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/zweibelson…

Found an earlier unpublished chapter explaining design theory from both the security and defense community of practice and the larger, more prominent commercial design field; putting it into a series of Substack blogs. Part 3 is linked below and pivots from the security framework

New Substack blog up on explaining how commercial design theory and military extensions of these (and other) concepts developed through the 20th century as an after effect of the First World War. Much of this earlier unpublished draft work became chapters 1 and 2 in my book,

You can see the disturbance from the recent X5 solar flare covering nearly half of the Sun. It produced a fast, full-halo CME with a highly dense core. With two preceding CMEs already on their way, this event will further intensify the geomagnetic activity on an already weakened

Bam! Just like that, I am signed with my publisher for my 5th book. This one is about 45-50% done, and titled "On Technology and War: The Power of Uncertainty", which will cover the future of conflict and how AI, quantum, space, and sociological issues in modern (or perhaps

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare early this morning, Nov. 14, 2025, peaking at 3:30 a.m. ET. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (right, close-up gif) and NOAA’s GOES-19 satellite (left, full Sun image) captured imagery of the event, which was classified as X4.0 class:

今朝は月面衝突閃光が出現しました。2025年11月16日4時35分40.2秒の閃光です(270fps,0.03倍速再生)。月は大気がないため流星や火球が見られず、クレーターができる瞬間に光ります。落下場所はアポロ15号が着陸したハドレー谷の西のブラッドリー谷付近で、おうし座流星群の衝突領域内でした。
