Paul Kedrosky: Infectious Greed : Farming as the Next Big Thing - http://paul.kedrosky.com/archive...
"True, but the organic regulations are federal, and farmland in Iowa is a lot different from most of the country. It's an ideal place for row crops, and soybeans help to replenish the ground naturally. Much of the grain belt doesn't have the humidity to help row crops grow like they do in Iowa, leaving them with lower yields." - Shawn Kirsch
@Akula What is fax?
@BlaqueSaber No argument.
#TweetContest: First one to prove they have @'ed everyone they follow wins. Prize is respect from the rest of us.
@bluestbutterfly Ohhh, that sounds so good. I can't wait for Oktoberfest.

@TheNoLookPass I never did get into anime.
Get To Know Your New Spurs #3: San Antonio McDyess - Pounding The Rock - http://www.poundingtherock.com/2009...
"...The 6 point lead McDyess left with evaporated and the game was deadlocked heading into the 4th. Only, McDyess was still stapled to the bench. You'd have thought his removal in the 3rd was strictly done so he could come back aggressively to start the 4th. Incorrect. Larry Brown left him sitting there, unable to help his team win the title that he so desperately craved. Rasheed Wallace now played in his stead. The same Rasheed Wallace that had left Robert Horry alone at the end of Game 5 and would total exactly one rebound in this deciding contest. Duncan took over from there, either scoring or drawing double teams to allow for open 3's...." - Shawn Kirsch from Bookmarklet
This is one of the reasons I didn't ever want Wallace donning the black and silver, but think McDyess might be the real deal, the toughness that never quite materialized with Thomas the last 2 years. - Shawn Kirsch
@TheNoLookPass I think a pretty significant chunk of us on Twitter did our 1st work on GeoCities. I did a page dedicated to the Nissan 350Z.
@TheNoLookPass Old news, how did you miss that?
Earlier I thought I might go on a marathon coding session tonight, so I bought #MtDew and snacks, but now I just feel like going to bed.
@phillymac I'll try to remember.
New blog post: Supporting Friends http://thattalldude.com/2009...
@the_tigercub About 18 months ago I was just another rookie writer too (actually, still am). But @mdeleon 'discovered' me and here I am now.
@the_tigercub I subscribe to the blogs of everyone I follow on Twitter, I like keeping up with what everyone is doing, I communicate. :)
@the_tigercub I've been subscribed to you for awhile, I'm piecing together a blog post about the addition right now.
@the_tigercub Yeah, I was just after something simple, althought I may redo it with Yahoo Pipes later. Sidebar 1: http://thattalldude.com/
@the_tigercub Actually, it looks like Feedstitch will do the trick.
@phillymac What's the RSS link for your blog? I'm having trouble getting it to recognize.
@the_tigercub I want to input multiple RSS feeds and output them as one, it'll be for my blog's sidebar.
What's a good service to combine multiple RSS feeds into one?
Updated my Friendfeed service list, some things I no longer use or are being phased out, and didn't realize Facebook had more granular controls.
@stevepurkiss That's asking a lot of people, once you hit 83 characters stuff just gets hard to comprehend.

"I'm not sure how they do it in the rest of the country, but with all the restrictions and requirements to be organic (I believe it's 5-10 years without any chemical or fertilizer touching the land), the only viable option farmers here have is land coming out of CRP. And the government doesn't like CRP being tilled up." - Shawn Kirsch
@Peter_R_Casey Duncan's bank shot, snapping sound of a perfect swish, the rim in your hands after powerful dunk, the dime nobody saw coming.
Need something good to read? 'Farming As The Next Big Thing' generated some good discussion at Infectious Greed. http://paul.kedrosky.com/archive...
@Akula I haven't had a stream that small in over a year, I've forgotten what it's like. But right now I have a pretty decent system going.
@Akula I don't think that's a set number, you'll rethink that in a couple months.
