333 East 45th Street
For three years, 333 East 45th Street, New York, NY served as the home for Information Habitat, its small Local Area Network and its founder. Housed in the closest apartment building to the Delegates Entrance of the United Nations, 333 East 45th provided extremely convenient access to United Nations headquarters, and to nearby office buildings of the UN Secretariat and UN specialized agencies, making it easy to print and reproduce documents at very short notice and to make use of Information Habitat's equipment in UN HQ and UN offices as needed.

Hands-on Healing
Although Hand-on Healing has had virtually no visibility, conceptually it is at the heart of the vision of Information Habitat and holds a vision - and encourages the practice - of discovering a wealth of opportunities to engage in hands-on healing relationships with the Earth and with other people - cultivating a living organic garden, preparation of healthy food, healing massage, picking up and recycling waste, and with hands on keyboards; discovering ways that electronic communication - with the new forms of public dialogue and access to information it makes possible - can become a healing force. in part by restoring common access to the properties of the whole, and making it possible for all voices to be heard.

801 Homestead Street
Undertook major renovation of a dilapidated 1877 frame house and established an organic garden on the 1/3 acre estate that had been created by purchasing two adjacent lots. Removed plaster and lathe interior walls; weather-proofed house with storm windows, insulation and caulking; re-painted interior of the house; installed new wiring, etc.
Removed large quantities of trash and debris from the garden - much of which was buried in the garden - and set about restoring the garden, adding compost heaps and collecting many, many bags of leaves each fall to create a large collection of leaf mold to enhance the condition of the garden.
801 Homestead also served as an information hub - initially for a number of community-based organizations, including the Baltimore Area Recycling Coalition and the Baltimore Environmental Center, and subsequently for the US Citizens Network for UNCED and the International Synergy Institute, and was the original home of Information Habitat: Where Information Lives
