You know, I've been "online" since 1982 and an "early adopter" of many technologies, but I've never really blogged before. Sure, I dabbled once or twice. Even kept up the interest for as long as a week, once.
This here's dif'rent, that's all I gots to say!
I like Zaadz, and find it to be a very cool community, and I'd like to contribute. In discussion with ~Matthew (clearly an old hand on Zaadz), I discovered that there weren't any pods that generally discuss appropriate technology as pertains to transportation. I did find the "Who Killed the Electric Car?" pod, and they're doing a great job, but does my biodiesel experience fit in there? What about waste vegetable oil conversions? Compressed air technologies? Two-stroke super-low emission diesels? Ahh, you get the point.
So now we have the Appropriate Transportation pod, and I think it has potential for reaching a number of very interested Zaadzsters. I hope you'll consider joining the discussion, or just sitting back and learning from those who do. Even more, please consider spreading the word.

Congrats on your first blog (and your first pod)!
This place is definitely dif'rent. I love it (and I swear I'm not biased). :)
Where else could you find a discussion on alternative transportation and a quote like this on the same site:
” The word “surrender” is often interpreted as giving up, as weakness, as admitting defeat. Although this is one way to use the word, we will use it in a different way. Surrendering means letting go of your resistance to the total openness of who you are. It means giving up the tension of the little vortex you believe yourself to be and realizing the deep power of the ocean you truly are. It means to open with no boundaries, emotional or physical, so you ease wide beyond any limiting sense of self you might have.”
I'm excited about your pod, I'm fairly new to biodiesel and I'm running on B100 in my VW and I'm really looking forward to learning more.
Thanks for getting this started.
In spreading the word,
David
Clearly you live in a warm climate. We can only run B40 right now ;-)
Gotta love Southern California on that front.
