Hey! Allow me a bit of spousely bragging. My husband's book came in as book #100 of Amazon's Best Books of 2007!
My comment: "Somebody had to be #100."
His response: "Better than #101."
FYI: it's an art book, in a toddler's board-book layout. Uh, it could be considered a bit too naughty for your average toddler, but our daughter has taken it to school at Show and Tell (and she's pushing 4). You can see more of Tom's work here.

What an accomplished household you have. Congrats Tom.
Waaaay better than #101! Being #100 also means that they after they had decided on 99 things to include, they picked Tom's out of ALL the other books in the 2007 universe, to be included in the list. I think it's very impressive!
Yay husband! I like a good story like this. Congratulations.
What Rurality said. :)
Hoorah for Tom!!
Lisa: Aw, shucks! Thank you.
Rurality: Ah, now that is an interesting twist, thanks! (I figured they just looked at trendy things.)
CC: Good stories are fairly rare, which I suppose is what makes them good, no? thank you
Liz: Thanks! Now if I had some beet beer...
El: Congrats to your husband. I'm inspired to "think outside the box" a bit more in 2008.
I saw the other day his book was on BoingBoing, too.

Oh, and though I didn't comment at the time I thought your "batting cage" was really cool. I never covered up my chicken run, because there are too many tall trees next too and I figure the cover would get crushed under the eight of falling leaves in the fall (the exact time of year when a hungry 3 pound hawk might start thinking about attacking a 6 pound chicken.) I've had hawks perch on the top of the fence and look down at them a couple times, but never any attacks.
Such a talented family! Congratulations Tom! I love the toddler comment and that your daughter is actually pushing 4. Cracked me up. 100 is very cool indeed considering the barrage of choices out there.
A coconut crushing machine is a specialized apparatus designed to efficiently process coconuts for various applications. This mechanical equipment is engineered to break down coconut shells and extract the valuable coconut meat or copra within. Typically featuring strong blades or crushers, the coconut crushing machine ensures a thorough and uniform breakdown of the hard outer shell, facilitating easy access to the nutritious interior. In addition to extracting coconut meat, some advanced machines may also separate coconut water or milk. The coconut crushing machine streamlines the labor-intensive process of manual coconut opening, offering a more efficient and time-saving solution for industries involved in coconut-based product manufacturing or for individuals seeking to extract coconut ingredients at home.
