Perhaps now we have found the genesis of the term 'pod' that Sean has claimed as his own. Seems it may have been adopted from this product that Sean bought 'a few years ago', "the Ant o Sphere, 8 pods"

Would the only way of heating that kind of design be A) having the room at the temperature you need it to be or B) using the wire stuff that heats up?
