April 15th, 2008

For boat spotting, head over to the fascinating Hi-Def San Francisco. A fixed camera captures an image every fifteen seconds twenty four hours a day. And it’s gorgeous.

For Pigeon killing, have a look at Canceled Flight, the guide to 101 pigeon killing methods by New-York expert A.V Jones, brilliantly illustrated by 85 contributors.

The wall of peace ?

April 6th, 2008

send.a.message is a Dutch project to help Palestinians : you write your message, pay 30 euros, and volonteer Faris Arouri writes it on the Israeli wall, and sends you 3 photos. No hate message, no scam, just money for the Palestinian charities.

That’s a cool idea.
