What's the speed of light compared with how many blogger posts, twitter "where are you now" messages, myspace friend requests, facebook updates, flickr photo albums, youtube downloads and etsy.com esmarts team contacts I've gotten in the past three hours? I know that the Internet's information highway keeps me from going gaga in the small Florida town where I live. What I didn't realize is how many savvy computer friends you can acquire by just being a bit sociable. Some of the info can be earth-changing.
For example, today I learned about http://www.superuse.org/ from Etsy seller Tanya Ross at http://twitter.com/tanyaross. What is Superuse.org, you ask? It is a online community of designers, architects and everybody else who is interested in inventive ways of recycling.
Why is this interesting to me? Take a look at some of their photos: the hockey stick bench, for example, or the Redneck Mansion, or snow ski fence. This makes me want to go out and grab people's garbage cans and build something fantastic.
So far, I only recycle jewelry parts and sell them at secondstorycreations.etsy.com. Oh, and I did make a few sculptures out of very old glass I found while rescuing plants from a long-empty lot across the street.
For the etsy jewelers out there, I found another excellent recycled design - a CD Spindle Earring Stand. Instructions are at: http://www.instructables.com/id/CD-Spindle-Earring-Stand/
