PPC at the Western Conservative Summit

Okay, it’s not space-related (and it’s not technically PPC, since he’s there on National Review’s nickel), but my People’s Press Collective co-conspirator Michael Sandoval is on the scene at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver. Rick Santorum and Rick Perry spoke this evening. Santorum focused (utterly predictably) on gay marriage, using the issue as an […]

2011 Denver Tax Day Tea Party Live Webcast

It’s that time of year again, and PPC is doing another live webcast of the Tea Party rally from the steps of the Colorado capitol building in downtown Denver.

Coverage is scheduled to go live at 10am MT, with the event running from 11am to roughly 1:30pm. […]

Teaching Citizen Journalism

Spending the morning at Independence Institute with a group of bloggers and pro-liberty activists from Kyrgyzstan, sharing People’s Press Collective’s citizen journalism experience.

A really interesting collection of bloggers, including the director of the only free-market think-tank in Central Asia.

Why You Should Attend the LPR Annual Retreat

It gets better and bigger every year…

Atlas Shrugged Trailer

This would make a great drinking game at your next Objectivist book club meeting: spot the deviations from the book!

I guess one has to expect many differences from the source material, given that the producers don’t have a Lord of the Rings-scale budget with which to depict the “period” setting of the book […]

“A Fount of Nonsense Who Exasperated Everyone He Talked To”

Dave “JournoList” Weigel digs around at AboveTopSecret and discovers what may be some postings from Jared Loughner, under the userid “Erad3”:

If the NASA Space Shuttle is able to reenter from the orbit of the Earth then the NASA Space Shuttle is able to reenter because of the heat of 1,500 °C. The NASA Space […]

The Intentional Fatalism of the Anti-Nuclear Movement

If surviving a nuclear war is actually fairly straightforward, why cultivate such a deep sense of futility about even trying? Why cut funding for Civil Defense, why ridicule “duck and cover”, and why make demoralizing movies like “Testament” or “The Day After”? […]

“In the Shadow of Ares” – Now Available!

“In the Shadow of Ares” (formerly known around here as “Labyrinth of Night”) is now available for download at Amazon.com:

In 2029, the third exploration mission to Mars vanishes without a trace. Two decades later, the success of human settlement of Mars and the life of a young girl hinge on the secret of what […]

Patdowns on the Slopes

Apparently we have to be wary of pantybombers on ski slopes now, too.

Long Arm of the Law

It’s a windless morning at Steamboat Ski Resort, and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” pulses through a bright Gondola Square. Shuffling across the slushy snow, skiers line up to board the Steamboat Gondola, but first they must unzip, […]

PPC Hits the Semi-Sorta Big-Time

A short, choppy featurette by our neighbors on the press riser on election night. I wish I had thought to do something like this when I had my hands on the big Sony we were using for interviews. (Yes, Michael self-identifies as National Review Online, but he’s still one of us.)

An amusing aside: […]
