LikeKudzu amuses me, because there are 81,000 hits on google, almost all using it as a simile. "Project Kudzu" would stand out better in a search. At $13 a year, maybe I should get both for the time being.

Ginger,

do you have an ipad? If you do, there is this multimedia book in the ibooks store that is fucking awesome. I suppose you can read it on a mac in the ibooks store as well, but I don't know it.

Paperless is the name of the book and the guy who did it has text, video, pictures, etc.

Is this something you might be thinking of? Apparently a lot of people have bought is book. I like it a lot.

It certainly could be one form, particularly if I could video some of the interviews. I am Apple-less, but I should be able to find a way to take a look at it.

I love Project Kudzu and think this is a great idea.

As a person who is formulating a blog-to-book project myself, I wholeheartedly support the project.

To be honest, I'm a bit fascinated with Kudzu. So, I'd be first in line to read your stuff.

It occurs to me that I could start with a Tumblr that people could post to, which might net some avenues for articles and pictures. Typo, you'll be happy to hear that one article I want to do is on its use as biomass.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I support Project Kudzu. Go for it.

I keep thinking that kudzu should be one of those 'savior' elements in nature. With enough R&D we should be able to make everything out of it. Like hemp, without the bad rap.

I'm afraid kudzu has an even worse rep. One barrier to widespread use is that no one will grow it on purpose, and what's out there is too difficult to pick and process.
