composting and composting dog crap

Anyone into composting? I finished construction on my homemade spinning composter this weekend- I'm pretty happy with it so far. It joins the earthboxes in the garden.

I just got a little activated carbon-filtered stainless pail for the kitchen so that we don't have to go outside after every meal, which I think will improve upon frequency of collecting composting things that should be composted.

I have been looking at BioBags, which I'd like to employ in a dog-crap composter which I'm still designing. There is a commercially available one called the doggie doolie http://www.doggiedooley.com/ which I think I can improve upon, and I think if I use the biobags it should still work. Anyone tried a dog crap composter?

If you're not familiar with BioBags, they seem pretty neat- made of vegetable starches- shelf stable but guaranteed to break down about the same as an apple. The Boloco burrito joint in my building uses cornstarch cups for cold items; they're completely compostable as well... We'll see- I've got a half dozen of them in my new tumbler.
