Ever wanted to build your own couch, but don't have any tools except a large 3D printer and a broken sewing machine you got from goodwill? Well what a coincidence, me too! So here I am spending 4 months building the most complicated over engineered 3D printed couch, all because I saw one in a store and thought, I could do way better for way cheaper. This is the journey of all the suffering I went through to build a couch, the trials and problems being solved, to hopefully inspire you to start building that project you've always thought about, even though it won't always be easy. I think my couch came out alright, its not the prettiest thing in the world but it's mine. It is still a bit lumpy because I haven't properly sewn the pillows to go inside the top part but that's a problem for later me now.

Why is Irish wool worth almost nothing — despite being natural, sustainable, and produced in huge volumes every year?

In this video, I visit an Irish wool processing facility to follow wool from the moment it leaves the sheep to where the real value is (and isn’t) created. As a sheep farmer and shearer, I see wool every day — but most farmers are paid next to nothing for it.

So what’s going on?

We look at:

Why raw Irish wool has such a low price

Where money is made in the wool industry

The costs of handling, processing, and storing wool

Why wool is treated more like a by-product than a commodity

Whether new uses like insulation, felt, and workwear can change the economics

This isn’t a rant — it’s an honest look at the economics of wool, why farmers have disengaged from it, and why the value exists further down the supply chain.

If you’re interested in farming, agricultural economics, sustainability, or where everyday materials actually come from, this one’s for you.

I watched the game with a bunch of friends, including three Spanish-first-language speakers. Sadly I’ve not been very successful at picking up languages, so I had to suffice with enjoying the groove and tunes of the performance. But I did occasionally peek over at my friends, all of whom were paying intense attention and gave some verbal reactions a few times. There was clearly a lot of meaningful context that I’d love to be keyed into.

I’m also an anime nerd, and the subtitle work that some fans do for their favorite shows are outstanding; not just providing cogent translations of dialog, but also adding cultural reference context (usually in different colors elsewhere in the screen) relating to specific lines, actions or locations.

I really hope somebody with the skills and knowledge can put this together and find someplace to host it that won’t take it down!

I've no idea how I missed Henry Segerman until now. This is the antithesis of clickbait: a simple title, "expanding racks", hides a wealth of surprising visuals and explanations. There were multiple times, watching this video, where I said "oh!" out loud. Give it at least fifteen seconds. And full marks for including some project files in the description, too!

The video talks about intellectual property, its problems and solutions.

Hope you like it. I didn’t make it but it’s well done.

Very prescient.
