Blackle by Seth Brau
Stop using Google and start using Blackle. Based on the idea that a black screen uses less energy than a white one, it will also act as a reminder to keep taking small steps towards saving energy every time you search in black.
Hopefully you've already heard about it and are using it, but we found it worthwhile enough to spread the word some more. We're looking forward to when they come out with Bmail or even better, Blackmail. Go here for more information, and start blackling!
Update: Blackle is only beneficial on CRT monitors not on LCDs. See this Wall Street Journal article for the run down on the numbers. Either way, it's an interesting concept and should serve as a reminder that every little thing can help.

Did you know that every Google search you make is recorded and archived by the company? Privacy-minded folks point out that as Google has become part of our everyday lives, our tastes and preferences on the net give away a lot more than we'd normally share with a stranger, let alone a corporation with nearly 14,000 employees worldwide. While Google keeps your search terms...

Modhaus
Whenever I need to buy furniture—and it's been a few times over the past few months (yes, bookcases are useful things)—I check out Modhaus, an online store and "gallery of modernist furnishings, decorative arts and cultural artifacts of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s." Our apartment is rapidly becoming a shrine to the buying tastes of the Modhaus owners. How much wood can one possibly...

Polanoid is trying to build the biggest Polaroid picture collection on the planet by asking instant-picture enthusiasts around the world to register and...

Boundless Gallery
We're always a fan of a good website stemming from simple ideas that have been competently executed. BoundlessGallery is one such site that connects thousands of artists from all over the world with potential buyers and clients, creating a global art marketplace that excludes the corpulent art dealer in the middle. After just a cursory look at some of the artists added in the...
