It looked good. Way good. A timely building science based addition to 
the growing body of serious natural building literature. I look forward 
to giving it a real read.

I don't know if it's covered in the book, but one of the glancing topics 
at the meeting was if folks in the northeast U.S. are going to have to 
start designing for earthquake resistance too.

My slides don't start until 12:05. One of them is of an 
Easter-Island-head tissue dispenser wearing a space helmet. (Forewarned 
is forearmed.)

Even if you don't want to watch the slides, it's worth bringing up for 
the terrific soundtrack. Seriously.
