More domestics




I like the bike gears bulb decoration. It is also no bad idea to think of things to do with trashed bikes, because there are two in the garden which it would be nice to get rid of. Again, no idea where I found these, but I will soon put up a list of websites with this kind of stuff for you to browse through...

because it's NEW

I love this thing.

Big ideas

project here by James Houston is wonderful - Radiohead's Nude played with old computer parts.
'I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there'.

Tidal bathing pools





There is a nice list of tidal salt-water swimming pools around the UK here. (photos a random selection from flickr).

Playing the building


David Byrne installation at the Battery Maritime Museum in New York that turns the building into a giant musical instrument. The control organ is hooked up to various structural parts of the building - pipes, beams, pillars - and produces a variety of sounds out of them.

Hiding places

From here, and this most beautiful thing ever
which is apparently for sleeping in the garden. From here.
