A huge blog of interesting stuff

Free Soil

The kids post all sorts of projects that might be interesting to those of you looking at social aspects of design. From reconsidering waste re-use, to Situationist inspired urban planning, to soundscapes made by feeding pigeons in the park, and the eternal investigation of public/private space boundaries......etc etc etc.

Worth a look if your stuck in a landscape rut

E-waste

Recycle Your E-Waste

From Wired How-To Wiki

As any gadget freak worth their circuits can tell you, there's nothing as obsolete as whatever electronic gear you just bought yesterday.

Some things have a greater effect on the landscape than the actions of landscape architects... We think it might be the processes of Evolution and natural processes, or maybe even God's hand, but it seems the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the true reason...

...remember the bigger picture kids

One man's trash...

But is it art? Tim Nobel and Sue Webster take piles of trash and make art into them... but sometimes the art isn't apparent until you see it in a different light.

Google Zeitgeist: Search patterns, trends, and surprises

About the Google Zeitgeist
Pulling together interesting search trends and patterns requires both computing power and human power too. Search statistics are automatically generated based on the billions of searches conducted on Google. With some help from humans, and a pigeon or two when they have time, these statistics and trends make their way from the depths of Google's hard drives to become the Google Zeitgeist findings.
We should note that in compiling these Zeitgeist lists, no individual searcher's information is available or accessible to us. What you see here is a cumulative snapshot of interesting queries people are asking – over time, within country domains, and some on Google.com – that perhaps reveal a bit of the human condition. We appreciate the contribution everyone who searches on Google makes to these fascinating bits of information.
