Never ever leave me again...
It's great that you came back. Thank you for doing this. I hope college is going well.
I've listened to several of your podcasts now, starting back from the original. You do a good job. About the only negative is some of the math. In the UAV podcast you left your listeners with the impression that the F16 has an altitude ceiling of 6500 feet, far lower that the real altitude ceiling. In the episode on the PLA you were comparing the "worth" of the US soldier ($200K) vice the Chinese solder ($16K) and commented on the US solder being worth 4 times the Chinese solder. My math puts the number at more like 12 times.

Your friend Nikolay Kotev
I really like your blog and I wanted you to know about our new website, timelines.com, where we've started a timeline about the war in Iraq at http://timelines.com/topics/iraq-war. Our idea is to create an interactive historical record of anything and everything, based on specific events that combine to form timelines. We're trying to achieve a sort of user-created multimedia encyclopedia, in which no event is too big and no event is too small, and where each event can contain various types of resources, such as video, images, maps, etc. It's also a good way to direct traffic to your blog because your events will pop up along with anything else that's thematically related.
