His company was called Agri-Line. Here is a piece on the nozzles from the company he sold the business to:

What part of the country? My grandfather was a crop duster in Central Oregon, but had transitioned almost exclusively to aerial tankers and inventing spray nozels by the time I was old enough to work in his hanger.

This was exactly what I was going to post. With all the soccer moms out there that purportedly care about the environment and the future world that their brood will inherit, you would think a tot-hauler that gets more than 20 MPG would be a huge seller.

I am just impressed that they have three different camera angles for a women's basketball game on the SEC network.

Too much, too soon.

My 12 year old son refuses to wear button down shirts. Am guessing he would wear that shit in a hot minute! About to buy a matching set for the both of us!

I though THIS was how he sits.

You are a funny man, Tim Burke!

If we can't get pop-up headlamps, how about retractable covers?

Loved the floor mounted dimmer switch in my '67 Cougar. Would love to have them again.

Except it is about 10,000 to 15,000 feet low if it was making a bombing run.

Yes, it is. I am saying that JPL copied Nordgren, not asking where Nordgren got his inspiration.

Portland Oregon's Standard Plaza (right across the street from Portlandia - the statue) also forecasts the weather. The beacon also has it's own Twitter feed.

Gee, I wonder where they got this idea?

Definitely!

I haven't read the Boston Mag article yet, but your discussion of it reminded me a bit of this piece from Jason Notte that ran on Marketwatch yesterday:

I was a Psyop loudspeaker operator in the Army back in the late 80's & early 90's. If you cranked a little Wagner on the box you could get a helecopter pilot to do just about anything for you.

Quick question that is only tangentially related: I, ahem, I mean Santa is getting my son an Xbox One for Christmas and I figure he should leave a game in my stocking as well. Was trying to decide between Shadow of Mordor and Dragon Age Imperium. Any recommendations for dad's first console game? I should add that…

Our first Thanksgiving after having our first child - he was 9 months old. We were driving from Portland to Central Oregon, which usually takes ~3 hours. Ended up leaving around 3:00 PM. About an hour in we realized we had forgotten diapers. We stopped to pick some up, so that was a slight delay, but we didn't get…

I really appreciate this run-down of the features of each system. As a non-gamer that is considering a console for his 11 year old for Christmas, I was completely clueless about which to buy. Feel like I have a pretty good handle on it after reading this and the 'one year later' reviews for each console.
