Complete with large drawn arrows pointing where to give them you email and name. Geoffs face is everywhere on the site but it's also not very hard to get ahold of someone as high profile as Geoffs pic.
Anyway, I don't think they will do anything about it anytime soon. I replied with a recommendation for them to change because even I was wary of giving them my info.
On the other hand, Permies! This is how you do it.
I had absolutely no reservations about signing up for the dailyish emails. That's because it doesn't seem shady at all. In fact the lack of the aesthetic look and feel of most modern website is what gives permies it's charm but also it couldn't be nefarious looking like this right?
I generally ignore the government, they generally ignore me. (I ain't that important)

Maybe it keeps items from freezing in the winter? But then you couldn't use it for cold storage for half the year???

Lawton's site is pretty boilerplate these days, mildly irritating but effective--especially on the lower points of the Wheaton scale. Face it, Geoff isn't marketing to US. We are already in the choir, so to speak. He is trying to get more people in the door.

Thing is, I walk away from the video wondering when he's going to get technical and get down to details. Geoff's presentation is inspiring, definitely. With background music like that I can feel the eagles soaring. But I can't say that I really learned much of anything specific that I could work to implement on my farm.
Am I missing something? Is there somewhere else that Geoff gets into the nuts and bolts of it all, rather than just the dramatic overview? I have not signed up for his PDC, I would be interested, but only if it really goes about five levels deeper than this 18 minute inspirational video.
My curiousity is insatiable, and I want to learn more every day. This video was interesting but not really informative, to me. Just my thoughts there. ymmv.

I have no problem with the guy earning a living at this, but the Earth's inhabitants need this information if we are to save ourselves and survive the coming century. The clock is ticking and time's running out. Get a few hundred people to pay $250 each and get on with it -- rinse & repeat multiple times at very low cost, so once the on-line content is established, small bits can be updated, and the model be rolled out to thousands and even millions of people at a lower cost each time. For those using the class interactions to work on their own designs, perhaps a higher cost would be needed to guarantee adequate feedback and round-table discussion, so I'd suggest a 2-tiered pricing structure for learners vs. doers.

There really are many costs associated with teaching of all kinds - even online courses - maybe especially online courses. You have to have videos made, create or buy an interface and hosting, have staff to help monitor questions, answer billing questions, tech questions, etc. In Geoff's class - you also got a full set of dvds of the whole class mailed to you as well as his 5 films he's put out to date plus Food forest 2. And he added as an extra bonus a new course on earthworks. There was no book required for the course but he did work a deal with Tagari Publishing to make the Manual available to students at a reduced price. Plus there were no travel fees, no meal fees, no one missed work to attend, etc. That course was a STEAL for the price.

Ever since that comment I've been visualizing all my friend's rear ends and which one's have the best booty for an imprint. Would I use multiple buttocks in decending order from small to large? Do the butt cheeks have to be uber defined or will a broad, flattish buttocks be equally effective?
