The man who plants flowers in potholes

Guerrilla gardener Steve Wheen is transforming ugly and dangerous road potholes in London into mini spring showcases.

Cyclist Steve Wheen decided to plant cyclamen, narcissus and polyanthus in the holes after becoming fed up with the state of roads.

The 33-year-old’s green do-gooding is proving popular as his website – www.thepotholegardener.com – has had 25,000 hits in its first month.

‘I’m a mad keen gardener but I live in a small flat without a garden,’ said Mr Wheen, from Shoreditch, east London.

If you don’t want to dish out the cash for a dock or stand that didn’t come with your new Apple iPhone or iPod Touch, then consider making your own. At one time, especially when the iPhone 3G first hit the stores, there was a craze that swept the web of DIY iPhone docks and stands.

Some are very simple and stripped down to a basic design and others are complex and even gear driven. Either way, they are all do-it-yourself and not purchased from the store. So that you want have to scour the web to find the better designs, I present my collection of 25 DIY iPhone Docks and Stands.

The Lightsaber Flashmob in Bristols Cabot Circus

A flash mob (or flashmob) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails. The term is generally not applied to events organized by public relations firms, protests, and publicity stunts. © wikipedia

ampersands i love them

There seems to be a lot of ampersand-related activity about at the moment. Ampersands are of course beautiful things, and occupy a special place in most designers hearts, so you’d expect there to be a constant low-level hum of ampersand appreciation online, but two projects came up recently that are particularly interesting.

Wordpress as a Project / Time Management

Wordpress is a fantastic blogging platform, no doubt about it. The freshly released 2.9 version (Carmen) shows you how powerful the platform is becoming. Lately Wordpress has been massively used as a CMS and literally tons of websites are powered by the WP technology. This is not very surprising considering the very limited resources required to use the platform. That’s the beauty of open source, there’s almost no limitation on what can be built. But for those who think that Wordpress is only a blogging platform, well, think again. To prove our point we’ve come up with a list of the most creative Wordpress themes available in term of usage. We tried to list as many examples as we could but there are a lot more out there. So if you know some themes that you think diverse to be in the list, please let us know in the comments.
