Encapsulating microbes in hydrogels may provide a protective, tunable environment from inhibiting compounds; however, current approaches to formulate successful encapsulated systems rely on trial and error rather than engineering approaches because fundamental information on mass-transfer coefficients is lacking. To address this knowledge gap, hydronium ion mass-transfer rates through two commonly used hydrogel materials, poly(vinyl alcohol) and alginic acid, under two solidification methods (chemical and cryogenic) were measured. Variations in hydrogel crosslinking conditions, polymer composition, and solvent ionic strength were investigated to understand how each influenced hydronium ion diffusivity. A three-way ANOVA indicated that the ionic strength, membrane type, and crosslinking method significantly (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.001) contributed to changes in hydronium ion mass transfer. Hydronium ion diffusion increased with ionic strength, counter to what is observed in aqueous-only (no polymer) solutions. Co-occurring mechanisms correlated to increased hydronium ion diffusion with ionic strength included an increased water fraction within hydrogel matrices and hydrogel contraction. Measured diffusion rates determined in this study provide first principal design information to further optimize encapsulating hydrogels for bioremediation.</p><div class="card border-dark m-3 p-3"><a href=https://doi.org/10.1021/acsestengg.2c00107>https://doi.org/10.1021/acsestengg.2c00107</a>

<a href=#>rotavirus</a><br><details><summary>Abstract</summary><p>Enteric disease is the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in young
mammals including pigs. Viral species involved in porcine enteric disease
complex (PEDC) include rotaviruses, coronaviruses, picornaviruses, astroviruses
and pestiviruses among others. The virome of three groups of swine samples
submitted to the Kansas State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for
routine testing were assessed, namely, a Rotavirus A positive (RVA) group, a
Rotavirus co-infection (RV) group and a Rotavirus Negative (RV Neg) group. All
groups were designated by qRT-PCR results testing for Porcine Rotavirus A, B, C
and H such that samples positive for RVA only went in the RVA group, samples
positive for >1 rotavirus went in the RV group and samples negative for all were
grouped in the RVNeg group. All of the animals had clinical enteric disease
resulting in scours and swollen joints/lameness, enlarged heart and/or a cough.
All samples were metagenomic sequenced and analyzed for viral species
composition that identified 14 viral species and eight bacterial viruses/phages.
Sapovirus and Escherichia coli phages were found at a high prevalence in RVA and
RV samples but were found at low or no prevalence in the RV Neg samples.
Picobirnavirus was identified at a high proportion and prevalence in RV Neg and
RV samples but at a low prevalence in the RVA group. A sequence analysis of the
possible host of Picobirnaviruses revealed fungi as the most likely host.

the challenges posed by free proton generation during remediation of
trichloroethylene by acting as buffers and reducing protons to hydrogen gas. In
this thesis, the challenges posed by systems that contain both diffusion and
reaction processes for protons are considered mathematically, and a computer
simulation to was developed to prove the relationship between diaphragm cell lag
period and reactive capabilities of membranes. Two polyoxometalate compounds,
sodium decavanadate and alumina sulfate, were successfully incorporated into a
poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel membrane, and the diffusivity changes associated
with each compound was determined. It was found that the diffusivity of protons
through an unmodified 10% w/v poly(vinyl alcohol) membrane was 1.76 ×
10<sup>-5</sup>

, the diffusivity through a
10%/2% w/w/v poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium decavanadate membrane was 3.10 ×

, and the diffusivity through a
10%/2% w/w/v poly(vinyl alcohol)/alumina sulfate membrane was 3.32 ×

. Through analysis of the
diaphragm cell lag period, it was found the incorporation of sodium decavanadate
did not increase the reactivity of a poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel, and
incorporation of alumina sulfate lowered the reactivity. These results indicate
that polyoxometalate integration into hydrogel membranes is feasible, but does
not provide any advantage to a bioremediation scenario.</p></details></div></div><div class="d-flex py-2"><div class=px-2><h3><i class="fad fa-fw fa-presentation" data-bs-toggle=tooltip title=Poster></i></h3><a class="btn btn-secondary dogear" href=/academia/metagenomics/metagenomics_analysis_of_rumen_populations.pdf data-bs-toggle=tooltip title="Full text"><i class="fad fa-file-alt"></i></a></div><div class="flex-grow-1 px-2"><h3><a href=https://millironx.com/academia/metagenomics/>Metagenomic analysis of rumen populations in week-old calves as altered by maternal late gestational nutrition and mode of delivery</a></h3><strong>Thomas A.

term performance. Factors that influence early colonization include maternal
factors such as gestational nutrition and mode of delivery. Therefore, we
hypothesized that late gestational nutrition and mode of delivery would
influence the calf rumen microbiome. Our objectives were to determine if
nutrient restriction during late gestation alters the calf rumen microbiome and
determine if ruminal microbiome composition differs in calves born vaginally
versus caesarean. Late gestating Angus cows were randomly allocated to one of
three treatment groups: control (<strong>CON</strong>; n = 6), caesarean section (<strong>CS</strong>; n =
4), and nutrient restricted (<strong>NR</strong>; n = 5), where CON were fed DDGS and hay to
meet NRC requirements and calved naturally; CS were fed similarly to CON and
calves were born via caesarean section; and NR were fed at a level to reduce BCS
by 1.5-2.0 points over the last trimester compared to CON and calved naturally.
Rumen fluid was collected via oral lavage prior to partition from cows and at d
7 from calves. Microbial DNA was isolated from the rumen fluid and metagenomic
shotgun sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.
Sequence data were analyzed using Metaxa2 for taxonomic assignment followed by
QIIME1 and QIIME2 to determine differential abundance and alpha- and
beta-diversity differences. There were no significant differences in
alpha-diversity as measured by shannon index across treatment groups for cows
(<em>P</em> = 0.239), but there were significant differences for calves (<em>P</em> = 0.015).
Similarly, there were no significant differences in beta-diversity as measured
by the bray-curtis dissimilarity matrix for cows (<em>P</em> = 0.059), but there were
significant differences for calves (<em>P</em> = 0.007). Alpha-diversity differed (<em>P</em>
&lt; 0.001) between cows and calves, with cows having increased species richness
compared to calves. Beta-diversity also differed (<em>P</em> = 0.001) between cows and
calves. At total of 410 taxa were differentially abundant (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.01) between
cows and calves. These results suggest that the mature rumen microbiome of cows
is able to withstand changes in feed intake, however the calf microbiome is
susceptible to alteration by maternal factors. These data also suggest that
there may be opportunities to develop management strategies during late
gestation that influence calf health and performance long-term.</p></details></div></div><div class="d-flex py-2"><div class=px-2><h3><i class="fad fa-fw fa-graduation-cap" data-bs-toggle=tooltip title=Thesis></i></h3><a class="btn btn-secondary dogear" href=/academia/cheme-car/cud_cheme_car_web.pdf data-bs-toggle=tooltip title="Full text"><i class="fad fa-file-alt"></i></a></div><div class="flex-grow-1 px-2"><h3><a href=https://millironx.com/academia/cheme-car/>The ChemE Car that Cud: AIChE ChemE Car Engineering Design Proposal</a></h3><strong>Thomas A.

challenges for cleanup because of its water solubility, density, and volatility.
Bioremediation of TCE is a promising cleanup method; however, metabolism of TCE
results in acid generation that inhibits remediating microorganisms. Calcium
alginate(CA)-polyvinylalcohol (PVA) hydrogels show promise for protecting
remediating microbes, however diffusion of TCE or its byproducts through these
polymers is unknown. To measure the effective diffusion coefficient of TCE and
byproducts through hydrogel membranes, we used a modified diaphragm cell.
Measured effective diffusion coefficient of each species was (cm <sup>2</sup>
/s
× 10<sup>6</sup>
): 14.0 ± 1.91 for H<sup>+</sup>
ions, 12.4 ± 1.64 for TCE,
7.83 ± 0.54 for cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE), and 4.68 ± 4.14 for vinyl
chloride. These results aid in engineering biobeads and suggest that CA-PVA
hydrogel blends are effective in slowing diffusion of protons, buffering acids
produced by trichloroethylene metabolism, and remains suitable for encapsulation
of microorganisms involved in bioremediation.</p><div class="card border-dark m-3 p-3"><a href=/academia/pva-aiche/measuring_diffusion_of_trichloroethylene.pdf>/academia/pva-aiche/measuring_diffusion_of_trichloroethylene.pdf</a>

unique challenges for cleanup because of its density and volatility. Use of
microorganisms may be a promising remediation method, however metabolism of TCE
results in acid buildup, which consequently impedes the ability of
microorganisms to perform this remediation. Polyvinylalginate (PVA) shows
promise as a useful shield for microorganisms carrying out bioremediation of TCE
by surrounding them in a protective biofilm-like layer, however, key information
is missing which relates diffusion of TCE or its metabolic products through PVA.
To measure the effective diffusion coefficient of H<sup>+</sup>
ions through
a PVA membrane cross-linked with boric acid and calcium ions, we used a modified
diaphragm cell. We found the effective diffusion coefficient to be 1.40 ×

seven-fold decrease in diffusivity compared to protons in water, with an
unexpected significant but as of yet unquantified adsorption capacity. These
results suggest that polyvinylalginate is effective in slowing diffusion of
protons and buffering these acids produced by trichloroethylene metabolism, and
remains suitable for encapsulation of microorganisms involved in bioremediation.</p></div></section></main></div></div><script src=https://millironx.com/js/fontawesome.min.aaac087effe105b2021e36c0792fad5ba9e850de51c098f2e6db8ff3e29f8d01.js></script>

mammals including pigs. Viral species involved in porcine enteric disease
complex (PEDC) include rotaviruses, coronaviruses, picornaviruses, astroviruses
and pestiviruses among others. The virome of three groups of swine samples
submitted to the Kansas State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for
routine testing were assessed, namely, a Rotavirus A positive (RVA) group, a
Rotavirus co-infection (RV) group and a Rotavirus Negative (RV Neg) group. All
groups were designated by qRT-PCR results testing for Porcine Rotavirus A, B, C
and H such that samples positive for RVA only went in the RVA group, samples
positive for >1 rotavirus went in the RV group and samples negative for all were
grouped in the RVNeg group. All of the animals had clinical enteric disease
resulting in scours and swollen joints/lameness, enlarged heart and/or a cough.
All samples were metagenomic sequenced and analyzed for viral species
composition that identified 14 viral species and eight bacterial viruses/phages.
Sapovirus and Escherichia coli phages were found at a high prevalence in RVA and
RV samples but were found at low or no prevalence in the RV Neg samples.
Picobirnavirus was identified at a high proportion and prevalence in RV Neg and
RV samples but at a low prevalence in the RVA group. A sequence analysis of the
possible host of Picobirnaviruses revealed fungi as the most likely host.
Non-rotaviral diversity was highest in RVA samples followed by RV then RV Neg
samples. Various sequences were extracted from the sample reads and a
phylogenetic update was provided showing a high prevalence of G9 and P[23] RVA
genotypes. These data are important for pathogen surveillance and control
measures</p><div class="card border-dark m-3 p-3"><a href=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2022.109447>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2022.109447</a>

Christensen II</li></ul></small></h3><h4>August 7, 2020</h4><p>Polyoxometalate clusters embedded into hydrogel biobeads may be able to solve
the challenges posed by free proton generation during remediation of
trichloroethylene by acting as buffers and reducing protons to hydrogen gas. In
this thesis, the challenges posed by systems that contain both diffusion and
reaction processes for protons are considered mathematically, and a computer
simulation to was developed to prove the relationship between diaphragm cell lag
period and reactive capabilities of membranes. Two polyoxometalate compounds,
sodium decavanadate and alumina sulfate, were successfully incorporated into a
poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel membrane, and the diffusivity changes associated
with each compound was determined. It was found that the diffusivity of protons
through an unmodified 10% w/v poly(vinyl alcohol) membrane was 1.76 ×
10<sup>-5</sup>
cm<sup>2</sup>
s<sup>-1</sup>
, the diffusivity through a
10%/2% w/w/v poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium decavanadate membrane was 3.10 ×
10<sup>-6</sup>
cm<sup>2</sup>
s<sup>-1</sup>
, and the diffusivity through a
10%/2% w/w/v poly(vinyl alcohol)/alumina sulfate membrane was 3.32 ×
10<sup>-7</sup>
cm<sup>2</sup>
s<sup>-1</sup>
. Through analysis of the
diaphragm cell lag period, it was found the incorporation of sodium decavanadate
did not increase the reactivity of a poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel, and
incorporation of alumina sulfate lowered the reactivity. These results indicate
that polyoxometalate integration into hydrogel membranes is feasible, but does
not provide any advantage to a bioremediation scenario.</p><div class="card border-dark m-3 p-3"><a href=https://www.proquest.com/dissertations-theses/polyoxometalate-incorporation-effects-on-proton/docview/2502214356/se-2>https://www.proquest.com/dissertations-theses/polyoxometalate-incorporation-effects-on-proton/docview/2502214356/se-2</a>

<h2>What is a "Milliron X"?</h2>
<h3>
It's a
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock_branding">cattle brand</a>,
of course! My cattle brand!
</h3>
<p>
The <dfn>milliron</dfn> is the bar with a bend in the middle. It does not
represent anything physical or textual <i>per se</i>, and is therefore a
rather unique element in cattle brands. Millirons are difficult to modify into
another brand, and provide a guarantee of authentic ownership.
</p>
<p>
<dfn>X</dfn> is the letter of mystery and mystique. For nerds, it's the
unknown in any algebra problem. Ranchers and cowboys will associate it with
big names like the "Bar X" and the "Double X." In either case, it lends itself
to a sense of withholding, prestige, and power.
</p>
<p>
Together, these two symbols represent the qualities I strive for in each of my
works: authenticity, originality, power, depth, and prestige.

The ChemE Car That Cud showcases Wyoming's dominant industries of agriculture
and mining by utilizing rumen fluid from a cannulated beef cow to generate
hydrogen to be used in a hydrogen fuel cell and radioactive cesium, a byproduct
of uranium that is often obtained from Wyoming's mines, to time the car's stop.
The concentration of cesium-137 source is measured using the radioactive decay
of cesium shielded by aluminum. The painted aluminum chassis was obtained from a
previous team at UW, and modified using plastic k'nex toys to adapt to the
current power source and stopping mechanism.

Bioremediation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifers can be hindered by high contaminant concentrations and acids generated during remediation. Encapsulating microbes in hydrogels may provide a protective, tunable environment from inhibiting compounds; however, current approaches to formulate successful encapsulated systems rely on trial and error rather than engineering approaches because fundamental information on mass-transfer coefficients is lacking. To address this knowledge gap, hydronium ion mass-transfer rates through two commonly used hydrogel materials, poly(vinyl alcohol) and alginic acid, under two solidification methods (chemical and cryogenic) were measured. Variations in hydrogel crosslinking conditions, polymer composition, and solvent ionic strength were investigated to understand how each influenced hydronium ion diffusivity. A three-way ANOVA indicated that the ionic strength, membrane type, and crosslinking method significantly (_p_ < 0.001) contributed to changes in hydronium ion mass transfer. Hydronium ion diffusion increased with ionic strength, counter to what is observed in aqueous-only (no polymer) solutions. Co-occurring mechanisms correlated to increased hydronium ion diffusion with ionic strength included an increased water fraction within hydrogel matrices and hydrogel contraction. Measured diffusion rates determined in this study provide first principal design information to further optimize encapsulating hydrogels for bioremediation.

Early colonization of the rumen microbiome is critical to host health and long
term performance. Factors that influence early colonization include maternal
factors such as gestational nutrition and mode of delivery. Therefore, we
hypothesized that late gestational nutrition and mode of delivery would
influence the calf rumen microbiome. Our objectives were to determine if
nutrient restriction during late gestation alters the calf rumen microbiome and
determine if ruminal microbiome composition differs in calves born vaginally
versus caesarean. Late gestating Angus cows were randomly allocated to one of
three treatment groups: control (**CON**; n = 6), caesarean section (**CS**; n =
4), and nutrient restricted (**NR**; n = 5), where CON were fed DDGS and hay to
meet NRC requirements and calved naturally; CS were fed similarly to CON and
calves were born via caesarean section; and NR were fed at a level to reduce BCS
by 1.5-2.0 points over the last trimester compared to CON and calved naturally.
Rumen fluid was collected via oral lavage prior to partition from cows and at d
7 from calves. Microbial DNA was isolated from the rumen fluid and metagenomic
shotgun sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.
Sequence data were analyzed using Metaxa2 for taxonomic assignment followed by
QIIME1 and QIIME2 to determine differential abundance and alpha- and
beta-diversity differences. There were no significant differences in
alpha-diversity as measured by shannon index across treatment groups for cows
(_P_ = 0.239), but there were significant differences for calves (_P_ = 0.015).
Similarly, there were no significant differences in beta-diversity as measured
by the bray-curtis dissimilarity matrix for cows (_P_ = 0.059), but there were
significant differences for calves (_P_ = 0.007). Alpha-diversity differed (_P_
< 0.001) between cows and calves, with cows having increased species richness
compared to calves. Beta-diversity also differed (_P_ = 0.001) between cows and
calves. At total of 410 taxa were differentially abundant (_P_ < 0.01) between
cows and calves. These results suggest that the mature rumen microbiome of cows
is able to withstand changes in feed intake, however the calf microbiome is
susceptible to alteration by maternal factors. These data also suggest that
there may be opportunities to develop management strategies during late
gestation that influence calf health and performance long-term.

Trichloroethylene (TCE), a toxic and carcinogenic contaminant, presents unique
challenges for cleanup because of its water solubility, density, and volatility.
Bioremediation of TCE is a promising cleanup method; however, metabolism of TCE
results in acid generation that inhibits remediating microorganisms. Calcium
alginate(CA)-polyvinylalcohol (PVA) hydrogels show promise for protecting
remediating microbes, however diffusion of TCE or its byproducts through these
polymers is unknown. To measure the effective diffusion coefficient of TCE and
byproducts through hydrogel membranes, we used a modified diaphragm cell.
Measured effective diffusion coefficient of each species was (cm {{< sup 2 >}}/s
× 10{{< sup 6 >}}): 14.0 ± 1.91 for H{{< sup "+" >}} ions, 12.4 ± 1.64 for TCE,
7.83 ± 0.54 for cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE), and 4.68 ± 4.14 for vinyl
chloride. These results aid in engineering biobeads and suggest that CA-PVA
hydrogel blends are effective in slowing diffusion of protons, buffering acids
produced by trichloroethylene metabolism, and remains suitable for encapsulation
of microorganisms involved in bioremediation.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a toxic and carcinogenic contaminant that presents
unique challenges for cleanup because of its density and volatility. Use of
microorganisms may be a promising remediation method, however metabolism of TCE
results in acid buildup, which consequently impedes the ability of
microorganisms to perform this remediation. Polyvinylalginate (PVA) shows
promise as a useful shield for microorganisms carrying out bioremediation of TCE
by surrounding them in a protective biofilm-like layer, however, key information
is missing which relates diffusion of TCE or its metabolic products through PVA.
To measure the effective diffusion coefficient of H{{< sup "+" >}} ions through
a PVA membrane cross-linked with boric acid and calcium ions, we used a modified
diaphragm cell. We found the effective diffusion coefficient to be 1.40 &times;
10{{< sup -5 >}} ± 1.91 &times; 10{{<sup -6 >}} cm{{< sup 2 >}}s, a nearly
seven-fold decrease in diffusivity compared to protons in water, with an
unexpected significant but as of yet unquantified adsorption capacity. These
results suggest that polyvinylalginate is effective in slowing diffusion of
protons and buffering these acids produced by trichloroethylene metabolism, and
remains suitable for encapsulation of microorganisms involved in bioremediation.

Enteric disease is the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in young
mammals including pigs. Viral species involved in porcine enteric disease
complex (PEDC) include rotaviruses, coronaviruses, picornaviruses, astroviruses
and pestiviruses among others. The virome of three groups of swine samples
submitted to the Kansas State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for
routine testing were assessed, namely, a Rotavirus A positive (RVA) group, a
Rotavirus co-infection (RV) group and a Rotavirus Negative (RV Neg) group. All
groups were designated by qRT-PCR results testing for Porcine Rotavirus A, B, C
and H such that samples positive for RVA only went in the RVA group, samples
positive for >1 rotavirus went in the RV group and samples negative for all were
grouped in the RVNeg group. All of the animals had clinical enteric disease
resulting in scours and swollen joints/lameness, enlarged heart and/or a cough.
All samples were metagenomic sequenced and analyzed for viral species
composition that identified 14 viral species and eight bacterial viruses/phages.
Sapovirus and Escherichia coli phages were found at a high prevalence in RVA and
RV samples but were found at low or no prevalence in the RV Neg samples.
Picobirnavirus was identified at a high proportion and prevalence in RV Neg and
RV samples but at a low prevalence in the RVA group. A sequence analysis of the
possible host of Picobirnaviruses revealed fungi as the most likely host.
Non-rotaviral diversity was highest in RVA samples followed by RV then RV Neg
samples. Various sequences were extracted from the sample reads and a
phylogenetic update was provided showing a high prevalence of G9 and P[23] RVA
genotypes. These data are important for pathogen surveillance and control
measures

"Polyoxometalate Incorporation and Effects on Proton Transport in Hydrogel
Polymers"

Polyoxometalate clusters embedded into hydrogel biobeads may be able to solve
the challenges posed by free proton generation during remediation of
trichloroethylene by acting as buffers and reducing protons to hydrogen gas. In
this thesis, the challenges posed by systems that contain both diffusion and
reaction processes for protons are considered mathematically, and a computer
simulation to was developed to prove the relationship between diaphragm cell lag
period and reactive capabilities of membranes. Two polyoxometalate compounds,
sodium decavanadate and alumina sulfate, were successfully incorporated into a
poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel membrane, and the diffusivity changes associated
with each compound was determined. It was found that the diffusivity of protons
through an unmodified 10% w/v poly(vinyl alcohol) membrane was 1.76 ×
10{{< sup -5 >}} cm{{< sup 2 >}} s{{< sup -1 >}}, the diffusivity through a
10%/2% w/w/v poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium decavanadate membrane was 3.10 ×
10{{< sup -6 >}} cm{{< sup 2 >}} s{{< sup -1 >}}, and the diffusivity through a
10%/2% w/w/v poly(vinyl alcohol)/alumina sulfate membrane was 3.32 ×
10{{< sup -7 >}} cm{{< sup 2 >}} s{{< sup -1 >}}. Through analysis of the
diaphragm cell lag period, it was found the incorporation of sodium decavanadate
did not increase the reactivity of a poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel, and
incorporation of alumina sulfate lowered the reactivity. These results indicate
that polyoxometalate integration into hydrogel membranes is feasible, but does
not provide any advantage to a bioremediation scenario.

## Stuff I like on the internet
This section of a website used to be called a "blogroll." I don't know what it's
called now. In order to be on this list, I must have been subscribed or
otherwise follow it for over a year. It's amazing how little stuff on the
internet can't make that cut.
### [Thru the Bible](https://ttb.org/)
I'm convinced that the word of God is timeless, and we need less commentary and
cherry-picking of favorite verses, and more study of the complete Bible. Dr.
McGee does just that.
### [Enoch the Cow Vet](https://youtube.com/channel/UC6PPmHUbcdOSzX5tLB3uXdw)
A veternarian/agricultural channel that doesn't make me cringe. "God built these
things for cows for vets ... [there are] so many aspects of the cow that are
just designed for vets." Amen, Enoch. Amen.
### [Proglogion](https://blog.drwile.com/)
The blog of my high school science teacher (of sorts). It is refreshing to find
a creationist who can still think critically. I love his "bad sermon
illustrations" posts.
### [The Milk Check](https://www.jacoby.com/learning-center/podcasts-overview/)
A pragmatic inside look at dairy marketing. I only understand half of what
they're talking about, but I learn something new every episode.
### [Brian Harry's Blog](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/bharry/)
Where else are you going to find a blog about cows _and_ version control? The
blog is basically dead now, but it's still fun to go back and read the farm
stories.
### [Car Talk](https://cartalk.com/)
The antics of these guys are enough to make anyone have to pull over to the side
of the road from laughing too much. I dread the day when NPR fully axes the only
good program to cross their airwaves.

A good film must have the plot and language of a good novel, characters as bold
and stunning as sculpture, a rhythm as driving and delicate as poetry, frame
compositions more stellar that those of photography, and music that speaks to
the souls of both the characters on screen and the viewers off.
But I digress. Most of my forays into the world of film are immortalized on [my
