HI there everybody! (8/17/08)
ROOPOD has it’s first sponsor! Ben Licata, of Northfield, MASS has contributed an old bike with a good title that will be reborn as ROOPOD! Just so you know…it is a 1980 Kawasaki KZ44A2 (440cc) and probably the only thing that will make it onto ROOPOD will be the VIN! Thanks Ben, your help is really appreciated.
Hi again (2/17/09)
the countless pieces of advice from so many people: thanks to you all, I will mention names when I check and see if you all care! but many thanks you know who you are…

Roo, Great idea & we love it that you are in Mass! We are co-founders of the Jamaica Plain Green House – a passivhaus demonstration project, rehabbing an old, abandoned, former neighborhood store in JP and creating an urban farm and apiary (see http://jpgreenhouse.org). The project will be featured on grist.org and the subject of a book. We are looking for innovative, carbon reduction devices and systems – particularly home grown in Mass and England to test out and feature in on-line “shows,” and for which we are raising a package of funding and other resources to support. Other project include, for example, designing a residence revolving door, recreating a New England-area milpas (the highly efficient, sustainable Native American agriculatural practice of mixing maize, squash and beans, developed by the Mayans and taught by Squanto to the Priligrims); and creating a bicycle generator that our three kids (7, 9 and 11) will use to power their computer games. — Seem like your alternative vehicle (excuse me, the alternative vehicle) would be a great addition to the mix. Give us a call at 617.435.4919. Best, Ken // Andree Zaleska & Ken Ward, cofounders; JP Green House, greenhousekp[at]gmail[dot]com.

I replaced the original stereo in my daughter’s 2005 Ford Focus. This wire harness made the job a lot easier.
