Ask MetaFilter is the bee’s knees. A couple of threads for future reference:

• Advice on building a “green” home, in the event that I ever have enough coin to contemplate owning property, much less a straw-bale off-grid solar-heated extravaganza.
• Advice on how to come up with a company name, since I’ve been having a devil of a time coming up with a name that can serve as an umbrella for all my possibly-but-not-very remunerative projects.
