 No Rediculous Car Trips 
It's the name of a campaign in Sweden to get more people taking short trips by bike.

 Precorder 
Precorder is an iPhone app that records but only saves the last few seconds of action until the play button is pressed, allowing you to start recording once something has happened, capturing what happened just before you decide to record. Ingenious. From Kottke.

 Wind power: a new way 
Good video on a new method of generating power using wind. An array of pads vibrates in a breeze and that vibration is converted into power. From Kottke.

 The Sartorialist 
It's been too long since I've written anything here. I've mostly been blogging on the FABB blog and haven't had the motivation to write here. I thought I would post updates on my Facebook page, but I still haven't figured out how I feel about that. The Facebook stuff seems to come and go without leaving much of a record; I suppose it's still available but not as structured like a blog.

I'll try to post a bit more here, mostly links to interesting sites that I happen across. The latest is The Sartorialist. I heard about it from kottke.org who posted a link to a short documentary about the photographer behind the site. Good documentary, good site.
