Word of the Day

Rummage (v., RUM-mijh)

A disheveled search pattern often done in attics. Rummaging often involves tossing things willy and spreading them out nilly and generally increasing the messiness of the area while trying to find the one missing thing. When people say they're rummaging, they're being honest. If they say they are looking for something, they are deceiving themselves.

Link of the Day

The Falkirk Wheel

The Falkirk Wheel is one of our favorite engineering marvels. It uniquely solves a problem and does it in a beautiful way that links with the heritage of the area. This video is a helpful overview:

The engineering behind this is exceptional. From the displacement to the turning of the wheel, it all works together brilliantly. If you want a diagram of the wheel's operation, this video is worth watching:
