I still find it odd that people find the need to use these weird, tricky SD starter methods that involve fruit, juice, or other novelties. Twice, now, I've used this method:
and both times, I've had great success. The first time, I had an active starter in about nine days. The second time, I had a starter is just five. All it took was water, flour, a warm place (I use my oven with the door cracked and the light on), and a lot of patience.
So, tell me, am I really that lucky? Or are people perhaps overthinking this a little? :)

The guy does have some amazing links on his site.

Interesting and usual links
The guy is some kind of scientist. I posted it mostly because I thought it was an interesting blog with a lot of interesting and unusual links.
