I love your website, and thank you for your writeups. I was sad to see that many of the domains in your "getting started" page are not up and running. www.kobebeef.com being dead hit me hard :'( I feel oddly inspired, and my wife will probably be sending you hate mail in the near future :p
thank you Y.. I was just a spectator on the KobeBeef.com auction (never owned it)... it was simply a name that popped up once I began paying attention. But agree, a very neat one that was tempting. Not sure who owns it now.
Why is it contrarian? Entrepreneurial spirit is well appreciated in popular culture even if most people don't have the ability to lose 10k without worries. Risk aversion might separate most people from entrepreneurs but it's not really a contrarian attitude, right? Maybe I've been interpreting the word wrong forever.
Thanks for the link, I loved reading it. When you spend all day building software with sometimes unclear and questionable purpose, the straightforward approach of "just" selling a produce when in season seems deeply appealing. Greener grass, I suppose.
I find it very relaxing to leave the computer behind and hang out all day in the Vidalia fields. We even started our own YouTube channel to film each years crop (ha) https://www.youtube.com/@vidaliaonion
yes! most of my customers eat Vidalias like an Apple. But they still have a touch of zing, but the fumes have never hit me before. They're very versatile to cook with. Just ensure you're buying authentic vidalias, cause nefarious sellers try to pawn regular yellow onions off as Vidalia (it's illegal and there are fines for those who are caught doing it)
