Colour Combos
I've found that the hardest part about painting a place is figuring out which colours to use. Among a multitude of issues, you want to make sure that the colours work together. I'm currently in the midst of determining how I want to paint my new place and I found the following site very helpful. "Wear Palettes" is a sub section of the fashion blog "The Sartorialist". This section of the blog provides colour palettes based on fashion ensembles. This site can be a useful for any project involving colour - I've just got paint on the brain.

Fak
So I recently heard of this company in Israel that essentially acts a prayer messenger for those not able to make it to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. For $25, a prayer sent to the company's website is given to a rabbi who prays on your behalf at the Wailing Wall. Your prayer is also written on a note and left in the wall.
As it turns out, "prayer" isn't the only service this business model caters to. A company called "Send.a.message" will take your personal message and spray paint it on the wall that separate Israel and Palestine. For 30Euros they will tag the wall on your behalf and send you a picture. Check out their site here.

MediaStorm
I came across this really interesting site of "photo-documentaries". Topics range from some pretty heavy stuff (Rape of a Nation) to some lighter material (Love In The First Person). I had the opportunity to watch "Marlboro Marines". The footage was beautiful and shocking. Click here to be routed to the site.
