If you’re interested in checking out what it is, head over to https://doomsdaymachines.net/. The “Welcome to Doomsday Machines” post that I put up today lays out what it is going to be all about. It is a very different sort of endeavor than what I am doing on this blog, but hopefully will be seen as a complement to it. And if you’re a fan of my writing on here, you probably will enjoy Doomsday Machines, as it involves a lot of the same kind of topics, albeit in somewhat shorter (and more frequent) posts.
Restricted Data will continue (as much as it has been, anyway) to be a place for me to post more serious thoughts about nuclear history in general. I have recently changed its subtitle from The Nuclear Secrecy Blog to A Nuclear History Blog, because its scope arguably has always gone beyond that of just nuclear secrecy.
I’m well-behind on updating Restricted Data for awhile now — I have several things I would like to write-up and post here, and who knows, I might be able to find some time soon to do it. But I’ve been really tied up with other projects right now, including Doomsday Machines, but also the next book, the video game project, and some other software I received a grant to work on. My sabbatical has been an extremely busy one, to the extent that I’m somewhat looking forward to the regularity that comes with teaching when I start up again this fall.
Anyway — I just wanted to post something about Doomsday Machines, and the future of this blog, here. More forthcoming!
