Even if cash neutrality is all that Instructables ever achieves, and it never actually provides a meaningful return to its investors, I would still be proud of my company. Instructables by its very nature has, and will continue to have, a net positive impact on the world. It’s a valuable tool for anyone with a project or idea to share, and we’re building a fantastic community.
Someone I met with recently was absolutely raving about Blue Bottle’s Kyoto-style coffee, where cold water is slowly dripped over the grind. Apparently it’s a multi-day process to make a single pitcher. He said it tastes nothing like coffee, and was completely free of the usual rancidity and bitterness of coffee, and was more akin to a fine bourbon. I don’t like coffee, but was still intrigued.
So, there’s a glass of the stuff on my desk, which everyone is welcome to come and sniff or try (I’m perfectly healthy).
It is by far the closest thing to pure poison I have ever drank.
Enjoy!
I guess there are some tastes that one does not really need to acquire.
2.009 Product Engineering Processes - MIT's undergraduate competition for reuse, recycling, and development yielded some interesting entries, including a solar-powered bottle sorter, shea nut grinder, and insulation panels made from PET bottles. (posted by nagutron on 2008-01-03T19:19:10Z))
NodeBox | Home - Generate 2D visuals using Python. Beautiful stuff. Check out the Andren illuminated scripts and Evolution. From Watson. (posted by nagutron on 2007-12-11T06:59:50Z))
Ponoko - Ponoko is an interesting site: Rapid fabrication, user-contributed. Kind of like a CafePress for furniture and toys. This links to a nice-looking side table. (posted by nagutron on 2007-11-29T02:12:05Z))
