FFFFound!!!





I have just ffffound! the greatest site ever. FFFFOUND! is a web service that not only allows the user to post and share their images found on the web, but also actively recommends each user's tastes and interests for a truly unique image-bookmarking experience. So basically, once you like an image (you do this by clicking the i heart this button) the site automatically recommends other images you might like based on your overall image collection and that of other's who have similar interests as you. The result is a designers wet dream, a digital library of some of the most inspirational images that are uniquely yours. But here's the catch, it's invite only which means that as a regular joe shmo, like me, I can view as much as I want but I can't post my own images or get my own recommendations. I don't know what it takes to be invited, I've searched and searched for the answer but to avail. For now, I'm pretty happy admiring the millions and millions of amazing images, from typography to photography and beyond. This site is truly an experience and I'm not gonna lie, it's quite addictive. I can spend hours clicking and looking, clicking and looking.  

The Launch of Planet Green


It's a very exciting day for TV loving, treehuggers everywhere! Discovery Communications launches the first and only 24-hour eco-lifestyle TV network, Planet Green, tonight at 6pm EST. But if you're looking for  granola eating, birkenstock with sock wearing hippies reeking of patchouli oil, you've come to the wrong place. From Ludacris and Tommy Lee to Maria Menounos, Emeril Lagasse and Ed Bagley Jr.,  Planet Green has created a grandeur of star studded shows. And the programs actually look interesting and span from home renovations and design, to green dining and even green celebrity gossip. The content is meant to be entertaining and relevant to people of all ages and backgrounds while giving them insight to greener pastures. Eileen O'Neill, general manager of Planet Green says, "this is an eco-tainment channel. It's a lifestyle and entertainment channel that's designed to activate people in the green space." She also went ahead to say the Planet Green is not intended to lecture or point fingers, it's all about entertainment and having fun, it is still television after all.
