SaucyDwellings on LJ
An amazing community which is an immense resource for that next little decorating touch up you want to do or to brainstorm or (which is more often the case for me) simply to salivate and fantasise about the house that you will one day live in for years and years and which will be your reliable and safe haven as the days of life happen to you and ( Read more... ) -
Shots of quirkiness for the house
What house? The one I am populating in my mind with all the trinkets and appliances I find on the internet... I wonder what percentage of the stuff in my house will have been bought with a click?

Trends : BadScience and Japan
The Guardian have a weekly column called Bad Science, which picks apart confusing pseudo-science babble by companies trying to sell things, nutritionists, holistic therapists etc. When reading back you occasionally find updates apologising for when they attacked a person unjustly, and I think that it's a pretty balanced and informative way for ( Read more... ) -

Cross-cultural giggles
Here to introduce two wonderful blogs I've come across in two very different ways!
First, the charming blog, Brit in the USA, by our very own LJer otana, since she's recently moved from the UK over to the West Coast! Alot of the posts are very true and will probably make you chuckle a bit ( Read more... ) -
The numbers and feelings of people
Another website like the I Feel Fine, but this one tracks 'Diggs', which I'm still not sure what they are but I've definitely seen them at the end of blog entries and stuff. I guess it's some kind of e-props (bleh Xanga) thing? Anyway, this site tracks the most 'diggs'-ed links and stories, shows how people swarm and gather at the hot topics and ( Read more... ) -
Anti-Cancer but Pro-Feeling Fine
I bring you two very interactive, informative websites today.
Own Your C is a website for teens on smoking awareness (Own your C-ancer), how to stop, videos on how Tobacco is made, and a big emphasis on the fact that there is always a choice you can make (check out the game at the Park Lake for an example). Very visually pleasing as well, and you ( Read more... )
