The London Book Project is a free book exchange on a massive scale. Using the London Underground as a high speed distribution network, we aim to bring real literature to London's commuters. Scrap the freesheets - read a free book instead!

Over the next two weeks we'll be distributing thousands of second hand books across the tube and we want YOU to get involved. If you see one of our books, please pick it up! Then read it and replace with any book of your choice. Let's make the tube a giant, free library!

i'm looking forward to seeing the results.

now this is real sustainability. apparently the afrigadget blog has been pwned, but i'm really looking forward to reading more about diy technologies from africa and thinking about how this might actually affect design for other settings.

this is a cool book juxtaposing in-game avatars with their human counterparts. it seems both totally obvious and completely surprising.

kelli connell has a really interesting show on in new york right now called double life. its a series of photographs depicting the romantic relationship between two women, with a twist. the two women in the photographs are actually portrayed by the same model. its uncanny how different she looks at times and its a pretty interesting statement on society's conception of sexuality.
