Blueprints for 50 farm machines, interesting ideas.

I just found this, its quite interesting, sorta like a more modern 'Whole Earth Cataloge' idea.
Haven't been thru it all yet. It runs well with my 99% recycle theme.

Open-sourced blueprints for civilization

Using wikis and digital fabrication tools, TED Fellow Marcin Jakubowski is open-sourcing the blueprints for 50 farm machines, allowing anyone to build their own tractor or harvester from scratch. And that's only the first step in a project to write an instruction set for an entire self-sustaining village (starting cost: $10,000).
