On the Mall
We're here, in Washington D.C! Feels great to be back. The house went together smoothly the first night/morning. The deck was completed yesterday and for some the adrenaline lasted late into the night and so the planters went in too. We lifted the batteries into their home in the deck (a future gardening tools box, I think) and wired them up. Solar panels are getting a slow start because the sun is intense and the heat sweltering. At least it's not raining. Everyone's excited because we just received the pod and there was a giant jar of peanut butter inside. Spirits are up and at this moment Matt M. is thoroughly enjoying an orange- too much pizza and pasta already I guess.

Post Send Off Party Observations
I find it interesting to note that there was a constant stream of people visiting the site after the send off party Friday and well into Saturday. The media exposure and the name OPEN House served to heighten accessibility, inviting people from a variety of demographic segments and lifestyles. All had an extreme thirst to understand this technology and several attempted to hire the students to build them a home. Many asked me as I approached the site, "Is this the open house?" The name seemed to convey a refreshing technological transparency that is often missing in society today.

Check out the segment about OPEN House from the open house/sendoff on 9/21. Reporter Brett Larson interviews Matt Vecchione and Ted Bier. A great news piece.
