In Helga Steppan’s All My Things, the artist sorts her belongings by color. A fun project idea for the next time I decide to indulge in an obsessive-compulsive weekend activity. (via VVORK)
I happen to have a few boxes of staples at my office. Here’s an idea for when I get bored. ‘Staple Architecture’ by Peter Root. (via Some Random Dude)

Software engineer Shamus Young documents how he created a generative city. This is the sort of project I have to think about at my master’s, I wonder if you can do it in Flash (of course you can, so let me rephrase it: I wonder if I can do it in Flash).

Not taking into account things always end up taking twice as much time, no matter how lenient, the original prediction, this means I’ve better be more modest in my goals… A procedurally generated house?
