The Structure of Co-opting Revolutionary Terminology for your Current Enthusiasm/  /July 05, 2004

If you're interested in that open-source discussion, you should definitely read Benjamin Tilly's post which takes the windhot air out of those Kuhn-inspired sails. Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions seems to be one of those all-purpose rallying calls, like Marx's Capital or the Bible, that was originally great but is now cited to lend urgency to anything you like. Tilly quotes the relevant bit of Kuhn himself to clarify that a scientific revolution isn't like the Internet bubble: it's not the Next Big Thing that you Just Missed Out On but still think is About to Hit and really Want to Capitalize On.

Good blog! I like your posting style, so your wording. It's good that people are so different and everyone has his own story.

The Astros have been in even worse shape, using three starters with less than two years of major-league experience. Signing Clemens to go with right-hander Roy Oswalt and left-hander Andy Pettitte again gives them a legitimate Big Three once again. If Clemens, after several minor-league tuneups, proves anywhere near as good as he was last season, he will give the team precisely the lift it needs.
