For the cooked rice method, why tomatoes specifically? Is there something unique to them in fixing the fungi, or would any fast-growing crop with a robust root network do?

Anyone else find this site unreadable due to the flashing cursor in the header image?

I really enjoyed this post. Nice balance of pragmatism while enjoying the enjoyment of a craft in itself.

What a weird coincidence, I was reading this article when my power went out for the first time ever at this house (4 years). Talk about uncanny!

It did feel pretty good being able to go to my closet, hit the 'push' light I'd stuck to the wall so I could see better, then calmly grab a couple of lanterns-slash-phone chargers. Added bonus: getting to share one with our older neighbour (who had plenty of light but no way to charge a phone).

I grew up in a place with a few power outages every year, albeit brief ones. A few basic preparations in the present can make your future much easier.

Since the site owner is in this thread, FYI there's a minor typo on this page in the 'What does the stimulation sound like?' section; 'illicit' should be 'elicit'.

On the online demo, you can also download by clicking 'share' at the end (there's an option in the menu that shows up).

This is amazing. I actually really like that it gives you songs across completely different genres and moods (while keeping the beat). One piece of feedback - it'd be nice if the search box didn't clear if you click out of it to e.g. look at another tab while it loads.

If you ever write a blog post about the process of making this, I'd love to read it.
