Long, long ago, back in the year 1999, I started this lowly weblog. My first entry is lost to history but alive in my memory -- I believe it was about lawnmowers. Every so often I like to google "lawnmower trivia" in homage to that fateful moment when I first sat in front of a keyboard and thought "what shall I post about?"

Today's efforts yielded this fun fact: the first lawnmower was invented in 1830, by Edwin Beard Budding.
