Wear a name tag at all times.

I think I'd rather have a personalized t-shirt that says, "Bonjour! Je m'appelle Brent."

About time this happened. As someone familiar with Amazon.com's Personalization, I'm amazed it has taken years for Google to ship something in this space.

Congratulations, folks. They shipped the Beta of their Compressed Earth Block Press.

I've been following these guys for a while. They are putting themselves in a position where they have to solve ecology problems that the rest of us will face at some point.

Sometimes you have to let thirty-something years go by before you can appreciate things. That Donnie guy on bass should go solo.

Go David Lee Roth! "I won't go down in history, but I will go down on your sister!" The search for DLR quotes was inspired by seeing a Spanish Yankee Rose clip on @ryanholiday's site.

"Sadly, in today's climate, you can't have adults walking around unchecked in a children's playground "

I can't believe this is the same country I spent my childhood in. What happened? This is insane.

Too funny – there's a "Farm Simulation 2009"

This is a fascinating summary of the change in animal husbandry over the last 75 years. What I need is a book that goes through this in more detail so I can learn the context faster than my current 'ask a million questions' way.

I need this page so when I go walking around farms I can appear knowledgeable about cultivators. These photos are of very large implements by French standards, used for very large American farms.

This channel has an excellent series of videos on farm implements. Everything Attachments is a store that sells these things, but when they demonstrate you learn a lot. Watching these also makes me ask the question, "Why so many different implements to do roughly the same thing?" You need a big farm to get benefit from teh subtle differences between these guys, or at least a lot of excess capital you want to throw away on iron.

I love how they use major farm equipment to prepare a garden. I wonder how much of their sales are to folk with a big garden? Although they may have gardens over there as big as farms are here.

This guy's NC accent is just amazing to hear after being away from the states for eight months.

For some reason I have always found Chernobyl photos beautiful.
