Excellent blog ribbens. Thank you

Excellent post on Charles Brush. I would love to repost it on my blog www.hallingblog.com which deals with patents and inventions. Of course with attribution to you and a link to your blog.

I added your blog to my Top Sites. The way the Macintosh OSX works, if you change anything on your site, when I look at my Top Sites, your has one corner folded down. I see right away that you have new content.

I really enjoyed your post (well-written), ribbens and subscribed to your blog. I am interested in your goals for the blog and hope you post your entries to the Gulch. I especially loved the part where you referenced your favorite author:

"The machine, the frozen form of a living intelligence, is the power that expands the potential of your life by raising the productivity of your time. If you worked as a blacksmith in the mystics’ Middle Ages, the whole of your earning capacity would consist of an iron bar produced by your hands in days and days of effort. How many tons of rail do you produce per day if you work for Hank Rearden? Would you dare to claim that the size of your pay check was created solely by your physical labor and that those rails were the product of your muscles? The standard of living of that blacksmith is all that your muscles are worth; the rest is a gift from Hank Rearden."
I look forward to your success with it-

My pleasure.

Thanks! I grew up in Cleveland and knew the name Charles Brush and associated it with the arc lamp, but never knew the story.
