Speak Dog, Speak!

I've been working on our original website Oyate Ta Olowan.We've been working on adding digital downloads to the site, but it's still a challenge. Oyate is a public radio series that we did on traditional Native American music. We did 52 half hour shows and traveled over 100,000 miles collecting music from all over the Americas. It was a while ago, but people still seem to love it, so we keep offering the shows for sale.

It's all a part of our little press Many Kites Press. Life is so amazing, and so full, but we keep on trucking. I hope things are going well for all of you, and that continue to create wonderful things. Later, Milt Lee

    Ecospeed - Electric Assist Bikes

    Ecospeed - Electric Assist Bikes

    This summer, I had a chance to work with the folks at Ecospeed. They make an electric assist for recumbent bikes, and are they ever fun!  You haven’t really riden a bike till you’ve riden a bike with motor.  When you are headed uphill, or you just feel like flying - press the accelerator, and you are taking off.

    The other thing that is so amazing is that you are doing your pocketbook and the planet a huge favor.  Imagine not having to gas up at $ 4.00 a gallon (or more) - just so that you can go to the store, or pick up the mail, or just feel like messing around.  The great thing about using an electric bike is that you can use electricity that could be produced by wind or solar, and the amount of energy it takes to move a 40 lb. bike is so much less than it’s ever going to be to move a 3000 lb. car.
