The Lightning Farmer
Happy Earth Day, everyone.
I cannot embed it here, but if you get a chance please hike on over to the New York Times video Drawing on New Sources. Ostensibly it’s "Ways to save and generate energy from The New York Times Magazine’s Year in Ideas." But from a design standpoint and just a let’s-look-at-cool-stuff standpoint (farming lightning bolts out of the ground?) it’s more fun than your average Earth Day fare. Older too, but worth it.

Happy Earth Day, Betsy!
The Earth is like a library book, we borrow it for a little while,
then return it in good condition.
After all, when our 15 minutes are done, what’s left over?
