A Landscape in Winter, Dying Heroically - New York Times: “After a few steps he stopped and pointed with pride at a stalk of dead fennel standing in a bed of moribund, wheat-colored joe-pye weed. ‘Normally, people who garden would have cut this back by now,’ he said. ‘The skeletons of the plants are for me as important as the flowers.’”
Pretty cool article about the guy who is designing the garden for the new High Line Park in Manhattan. He’s all about creating gardens that look good year round, as opposed to only when they are in bloom.
The High Line is an old section of elevated rail line that snakes through Lower Manhattan, that’s been fenced off and unused for years. It’s finally reopening as a park/walkway later this year.

FilesPump.com - File Search Engine: “”
A new file search engine that crawls several online file hosting sites like mediafire and sendspace to find the file you are looking for. I tried a handful of searches… not much help on obscure stuff, but pretty cool for more common types of files.
Plus their header is awesome…
History of Plumbing :: Rad Dyke Plumber: “”
I wish I had a clogged toilet in Seattle so that I could meet Zan, The Rad Dyke Plumber…
She sounds awesome… She’s a three hundred pound lesbian plumber with a picture of a bent over mermaid as her logo, and a bunch of “thumbs up” as the background of her website…
In addition to her work as a plumber, apparently she’s an aspiring monologuist working under the show title “Potty Talk”.
“Us women don’t need to hold our vagina when we pee. A man has to take care his buddy who’s always hanging around. They are like litlle pets in his pants. No wonder guys name them. how many women have named their V’s? Nadine? Wavey Cavey? Esmerelda?”
Wavey Cavey… O Rad Dyke Plumber you kill me!!! Don’t change… Don’t Change….

I like that it’s sublime themed… but I was a little disappointed that the leopard print only comes in the 22oz size.
