Ninjarish Worms
If you haven’t checked out the myninjaplease feature on vermicomposting with red worms, then you probably haven’t lived, and you might be seriously unaware of the depth of our network.
Our green.mnp women/o.g. ninjas are currently doing a feature on using red worms to compost bits of trash. It’s a green idea with added bonuses. Not only do you get sweet sweet worm java, which can make your plants happy as hell, but you also get a thousand creepy crawlies as pets. Jessie and Andrea are keeping us updated with their Savage Worms journal entries.
Sound appealing to you? Head over to green.mnp to check out week four, or catch up on the previous postings:

materialicious shipping container coverage
materialicious are busy trying to reinvent the shipping container as well- here are some of their highlights….there is a new standard for all yal builders out there to add to your train car, cross-reference applique directories- IBU = Intermodal Building Unit (= Shipping Container) is a brand new [and exclusive to a guy named Greg] standard for stacking boxes! they have been reporting on some of the nicest designs that I have seen anywhere.
a company in france now offers eco-friendly ISOs with bamboo flooring and you can even cop that above pattern of a pattern for a tile pattern for your floor. anybody remember super puzzle fighter II turbo? back to the original mode of reasoning of writing about shipping containers, these meditation pods seem like a really practical use for a rampant shipping container. it is good to see that the public’s interest in shipping containers has actually yielded replacement "containers" that merely represent the possibilities of the consumer’s desire to save the environment and effectively make non-custom (soon to be custom) containers less expensive for building in the process.

Reinventing the Shipping Container Part 4
ok now that we have a vague idea of some of the elements involved within the spectrum of shipping containers, one asks what’s next?
-buy some shipping containers
-understand how to ship with shipping containers from a German perspective
-be aware of the terrorist threat that shipping containers hold in our "borderless world"
-reflect on the play on shipping containers as data packets
-decide whether the purpose of container[s] areis for a cargo, travel, work, promotion, media container, living or industrial space
rethink if you are going to architect the containers or go to the playa
-realize that people have been doing this pre-fab thing since the seventies : ninjas already been known about shipping containers so there are —-other options
-build that! and make a statement?!
With privatization, "the public agency that actually owns the port is guaranteed rent, and there’s a higher level of security for everybody in the chain," Mr. Levinson said. "This was a response to the riskiness of what is a very, very capital-intensive business."
