Do you want to see a week of live blogging about permaculture?

Hey folks,
A question for you! Every so often I pitch field segments, and something just crossed my desk that I wanted to pass by you...So I am thinking about pitching a week of live blogging/twittering from a permaculture course (only if this of interest to our community of course). So before I pitch it, I want to here from you...is this something you are interested in?

Wikipedia explains it as: The word permaculture is a form of permanent agriculture, as well as permanent culture.

The intent is that, by rapidly training individuals in a core set of design principles, those individuals can design their own environments and build increasingly self-sufficient human settlements — ones that reduce society's reliance on industrial systems of production and distribution that Mollison identified as fundamentally and systematically destroying Earth's ecosystems.

In other words, it's about looking at the earth, your house, the land the surrounds your home, your gardening principles through the eyes of long term sustainability. I was interested when i first started reading about a few years ago, now as I hear the concepts seep into classes like, "The ecology of leadership" I am even more intrigued.

You would see live tweets, short video updates, and blog posts about what I am learning.
So do tell. Are you interested? Yay or nay? (and as always...if this isn't your cup of tea, what is?)
