We recently attended and made videos for Transparency Camp hosted by The Sunlight Foundation and iStrategy Labs in DC. They invited the policy wonks and tech geeks to hang out, hack, brainstorm and collaborate. It was a great step towards getting online government transparency to be a reality. See the individual interviews, all of which are available in the open source Ogg Theora video format, on TransparencyCamp.org.

Milk, illegal? Yep. Unpasteurized, non-homogenized, raw milk is illegal for human consumption in 22 states (including my own Virginia!) because of ‘health’ reasons. And probably because the milk lobby doesn’t want you to not buy milk from big industry.
I ran across this article, More Dairies Go Raw, in The Boston Globe about how some industrial dairy farmers are deciding to down scale and sell raw milk. I was very excited to hear that. We just found a local source for raw milk, and if I don’t have to, I’ll never go back to using pasteurized, homogenized. Raw milk with the cream on top is simply luxurious, good for you food.
Check out the campaign for Real Milk for more info.

We recently had the pleasure of making a screencast for OpenCongress.org, an open source, collaborative website that helps citizens keep track of everything happening in Congress. We think it’s pretty awesome. Check them out!
p.s. for all the video geeks, the video is overlapping the sidebar- i wanted to keep it big so you could see all the detail…enjoy!

One of our friends here in the Shenandoah Valley recently linked to this great site Vermicomposters.com, where lovers of worm composting can connect, trade secrets and show off their bins. We love the google map they have on the front page where you can find your local vermicomposting neighbors. We even found some of our friends in far off locations. It really illustrates how popular worm composting is becoming, as there are about 600 people listed on the map. Check out their Ning Social Network and add yourself to the map!

Our dear friend, co-creator of the amazing Freshtopia.net, Oscar Grimm passed away last week after fighting brain cancer for the last two years. We are deeply saddened that the world has lost such a smart, creative and caring person. Our hearts go out to his partner in crime Tanja Andrews.
We first met Oscar and Tanja in 2006 at the Geeks Off The Grid Montana meet up, though they were our Bay Area neighbors at the time. Soon we visited their Oakland warehouse space where Freshtopia was born. The treated us to raw chocolate treats and fine conversation about being geeky and eating raw. Oscar, you will be missed.
