I'm a self-proclaimed Google nut (fan, slave, inductee, whatever....). I've been a fan since Desktop and GTalk came out.
So today I'm reading the latest news from Google Blogoscoped in Google Reader and I see they've released a Patent search.
I've been entertained ever since.
So, in light of furthering your education, here are the first ten patents in the United States (and links to them).
1 - Traction Wheels - July 13, 1836
2 - Mode of manufacturing wool or other fibrous materials
3 - Making Wooden Pins
4 - Wood Molding Machine
5 - Machine for mortising solid wooden shells of ships tackle-blocks
6 - Wood Molding machine
7 - Boring Wood
8 - Cutting Shin-Tackle Blocks
9 - Making Tackle Blocks
10 - Cutting Dye Wood
10,000 - Improved Paddle Wheel
1,000,000 - Vehicle Tire
7,119,100 - Oripavine derivatives and their uses as pharmaceuticals (the highest patent number I could find)
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay... But be warned. I run like a Lumberjack, drink like a horse, sweat like a pig, swim like a gorilla, spit like a camel, and swear like a sailor. I'm also a full-time #housespouse that creates videos and writes articles.
